AARHUS – Indonesian Badminton Team walk to the final Thomas Cup 2020 after defeating host Denmark 3-1 in the semifinals. Indonesia will face another strong team in the final, namely China.
China may rely on a lot of young badminton players in the 2020 Thomas Cup. However, their abilities cannot be underestimated because every Chinese badminton player has above average quality.
Therefore, Indonesia must lower their best squad in the final. For the men’s singles, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting is predicted to still be the mainstay to appear in the first match.
Ginting’s opponent was most likely Shi Yuqi. However, Ginting could also play other Chinese men’s singles because Yuqi suffered an injury in the semifinal against Japan’s Kento Momota.

Then, in the first men’s doubles party, Indonesia would entrust it to The Minions, Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. The points are most likely to be obtained by Indonesia from this match because Marcus/Kevin are currently the world’s number one men’s doubles.
After the men’s doubles, the second men’s singles match will take place. Like the time against Denmark, it is believed that Indonesia will return to field Jonathan Christie. The 24-year-old badminton player is confident after defeating the Danish representative, Anders Antonsen.
For the second men’s doubles party, Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto are predicted to play. Indonesia still has senior men’s doubles, namely Mohammad Ahsan / Hendra Setiawan, but Fajar / Rian are in a positive trend after contributing points against Denmark.
If the final must be decided until the third men’s singles party, Indonesia is believed to entrust the match to Shesar Hiren Rhustavito. He did not have time to play when Indonesia beat Denmark and Malaysia (quarter-finals). However, Shesar performed well in determining the Red-White victory over Taiwan in the final Group A party.
The following is the prediction for the line-up for Indonesia vs China in the 2020 Thomas Cup final:
Men’s Singles
Anthony Sinisuka Gintinng vs Shi Yuqi
Men’s Doubles
Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo vs He Ji Ting/Zhou Hao Dong
Men’s Singles
