“Praise God to make Indonesia 2-1 ahead. However, to be honest, my side of the game today is still far from my best game,” said Jonatan quoted from PBSI.

“Even though I won, frankly I’m not satisfied. You could say that if I use the number 100, my performance today is only 50. It doesn’t satisfy me,” said the world number 8 men’s singles.

In addition, Jojo also admitted that he felt with a blank in the field.

“My appearance was also not optimal with a blank so it loses a lot of numbers,” he said.

“The influence of the wind on the field is also great. Several times, shuttlecockits like unruly from the game ahead. This makes it difficult for me to implement the strategy,” he said.
