Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, runner-up here last year, was at a loss for words after he was outplayed 17-21 21-11 21-8 by Kenta Nishimoto, which followed his second round loss at the Singapore Open 2024 last week.
“I don’t know what happened, actually,” said Ginting. “I cannot think right now. Maybe my performance at the last tournament affected me. I just tried to focus on getting my performance back, but it didn’t go well.”
Earlier in the day Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo’s recent spell of poor form continued as he was shown the door by Kantaphon Wangcharoen, 21-16 21-9.
