On November 25, the BWF Tour Super 1000 Indonesia Open began the second round of competition, the men's singles field broke out of the big cold, the world's first, Japan's famous Kento Momota fought hard for three sets, 1-2 defeat to Singapore's Luo Jianyou, missed the top 8. In addition to him, Antonsen, Wittinghus and Gemke all defeated their opponents and advanced strongly, with Denmark occupying as many as four of the top 8. In addition, the host star Jonathan, Japan's Nishimoto Kenta and India's Penis occupied the other three seats.
The three BWF Tour Southeast Asia races are all held in Bali, Indonesia, from the Indonesian Masters to the Indonesia Open, as well as the Badminton Federation Finals, three top competitions in three weeks, becoming a big test of the physical fitness and condition limits of professional players. In addition, during this period, there is also a big point of interest, that is, whether the world number one in each individual event will change, especially the men's singles, Momota Kendou, who has occupied the top position for more than two years, has been closely chased by Arcelor behind him, and there was a possibility of overtaking at the French Open in Europe last month, but the two have withdrawn, and Arceloron has failed to achieve his wishes.
Last week's Indonesian Masters Acetron was out of the second round, and Momota won the championship, and the gap between the two was just over 2,000 points. Now, Momota Kendou is out of the second round of the Indonesia Open, as long as Arcelor can advance all the way and finally win the championship, it is likely to complete the counterattack by a slight advantage and once again become the world's first.
For Singapore's Luo Jianyou, the Chinese fans are most impressed by the previous victory over Guoyu Andrindam, a battle to become famous, these years have been mixed in professional competitions, and have not been among the top ranks, currently ranked only 26th in the world. Previously, Luo Jianyou and Momota Kendou had only played each other once in professional competitions, when the Japanese brother easily won. Nowadays, they meet again, perhaps because Momota Kendou has continuously competed in high-intensity competitions, some fatigue, and Luo Jianyou has now joined Arcelor's Dubai training camp, and has made great progress in terms of ball skills, so the duel between the two is quite interesting. In the first set, Luo Jianyou directly opened and hung, 21-7 big win, the second set Momota Kendou chased back 21-17, the key third set of the decider, Momota Kendou has been in the lead most of the time, but after 16 draws, he was dragged into a tug-of-war, 19-18 lead, directly by Luo Jianyou to score three points, a wave of takeaway, 19-21 regret lost.
As the No. 2 seed of the tournament, Arcelor played against India's Srikans, and the result was 21-14, 21-18, and won two consecutive sets with ease. Chinese Taipei's famous player and No. 4 seed Zhou Tiancheng was once again out of the cold, and he lost 1-2 to Japanese player Nishimoto Kenta in three sets. The host star Jonathan won an Indonesian civil war and became the only Indonesian seedling in the top 8. The Danish veteran Vitinhus also experienced a bitter battle, reversing Japan's Tokiyama Kanta 2-1; Denmark's second player and No. 3 seed Antonsen also reversed Chinese Taipei's Wang Ziwei 2-1 in the case of losing the first set, and joined hands with Gemke to advance to the quarterfinals.
