On April 14, the final of the Badminton Asian Championships was underway, and in the just-concluded men's singles final, Indonesian star Jonatan defeated Chinese player Li Shifeng in straight games 2-0 to win the championship. This is Jonatan's second heavyweight title after the All England. So far, the four champions have been released, and China has won 2 championships and 3 runners-up.
The men's singles final was played between China's Li Shifeng and Indonesia's Jonatan. Jonatan is ranked No. 5 in the world and has won the All England Men's Singles title this year. In this competition, Jonatan defeated Albo, Lee Cheuk Yew, Li Zijia, and Shi Yuqi respectively to advance to the finals. Li Shifeng, ranked No. 7 in the world, has been in a slump recently, and the tournament exploded, defeating Sheikh, Wang Ziwei, Jin Ting and Nara Oka Kodai respectively to advance to the final. The two have played each other 5 times, with Jonatan winning 4-1.
In today's game, Li Shifeng was in average condition, although he had a lot of active attacks, but many balls were easily defended by Jonatan, and many balls were defended to his gap and scored directly. After Li Shifeng couldn't score quickly on offense, he didn't defend Jonatan's attack, and finally lost two games in a row 15-21 and 16-21, losing 0-2 quickly and missing the championship.
This is Jonatan's first men's singles title at the Asian Championships, and it is another big breakthrough after winning the men's singles at the 2018 Asian Games and the All England in 2024. Having won two consecutive 1000 tournaments this year, Jonatan has become the best player in the world men's singles this year.
