Anders Antonsen’s impressive winning streak came to an end when he faced Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo’s exceptional display of skill and finesse on the badminton court. Antonsen had been unbeaten in 16 consecutive matches, securing victories at the Malaysia Open, Indonesia Open, and leading Denmark to team gold at the continental team championships. However, Wardoyo’s calm and graceful shot-making, particularly on the backhand, left Antonsen unsure and ultimately resulted in a 21-15 21-8 defeat.
Antonson praised Wardoyo’s performance, acknowledging his opponent’s phenomenal game. Antonsen struggled to find his rhythm in the first game, while Wardoyo effortlessly found the lines on his attacks. Antonsen recognized his opponent’s good technique, variations, and tactical decision-making, crediting him for an excellent overall performance.

Wardoyo expressed his happiness at playing at his best after a prolonged period of poor form due to a back injury last year. He gave his best effort in the match, finally defeating Antonsen after a previous loss at the Indonesia Masters. Wardoyo felt confident in his fitness level, controlling the shuttle well and performing strongly at the net. In the upcoming semifinals, Wardoyo would face Shi Yu Qi, while Kunlavut Vitidsarn would compete against Lakshya Sen.
Sen, who won his third three-game match in a row, spoke about his improving defensive game throughout the tournament. He mentioned that Li Shi Feng and Loh Kean Yew were challenging opponents, known for their powerful hits. The playing conditions, including the spacious hall and slow shuttle movement, made it easier for him to defend.
