Kembali Turun Lapangan usai Olimpiade, Jonatan: Perasaan Saya Campur Aduk
SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Tunggal putra Indonesia Jonatan Christie kembali turun lapangan di Hong Kong Open 2024 usai Olimpiade 2024.
Jojo sapaan akrabnya mengaku perasaannya campur aduk usai memenangkan babak pertama kompetisi tersebut.
"Rasanya bercampur aduk bisa kembali ke lapangan setelah Olimpiade, dengan kelahiran anak pertama juga. Saya mau mencoba lagi, memulai lagi suatu yang baru, enjoy every match," ungkap Jonatan.
Dalam babak 32 besar, Jonatan berhasil menumbangkan wakil Chinese Taipei Wang Tzu Wei dua gim langsung 21-7, 21-10 dalam pertandingan yang bergulir di Hong Kong Coliseum, Rabu (11/9).
Hasil ini membawanya melaju ke 16 besar Hong Kong Open 2024.
Jonatan sempat menghadapi kesulitan beradaptasi dengan lapangan, karena kondisi lapangan tiga dan empat tempat ia bertanding berbeda dari lapangan satu dan dua di mana ia mencoba dua hari yang lalu.
"Jadi pendekatan dan persiapannya sempat keliru tapi senang bisa mengendalikan semua dan memainkan apa yang saya mau," ujar Jonatan.
"Terutama di gim kedua, saya melihat Wang Tzu Wei cukup sulit mengontrol pukulannya. Agak bingung dan itu coba saya manfaatkan. Semoga besok di babak 16 besar permainan saya bisa lebih baik," lanjutnya.
Keberhasilan Jonatan menyusul kesuksesan tunggal putra Anthony Sinisuka Ginting serta tiga tunggal putri Komang Ayu Cahya Dewi, Putri Kusuma Wardani, dan Gregoria Mariska Tunjung yang sudah lebih dulu mengamankan tempat di babak 16 besar turnamen BWF World Tour Super 500 tersebut.
