Indonesian badminton player Jonatan Christie reached out and returned to China's Weng Hong Yang in the final match of the Korean Open in Suncheon, Sunday (10/4/2022). Jonathan lost with a score of 21-12, 19-21, 15-21.

SUNCHEON, SUNDAY — Maintaining focus and momentum is pivotal for athletes during a game. Letting them lose their concentration, even just for a fraction of a second, while the game is still in play can eliminate the victory that is in sight, as Jonatan Christie recently experienced.

The Indonesian men’s singles star found his collapse in the Korea Open final heartbreaking, given that he just needed two points to bring home the title and his career-best individual achievement in the BWF World Tour Super 500.
