Ginting has been impressive thus far in the Tokyo Olympics. In the Group J matches against Hungary’s Gergely Krausz and Russian Olympic Committee’s Sergey Sirant, he won in straight sets. In his Round of 16 game against Japan’s Kanta Tsuneyama, he didn’t drop a set either.
However, Anders Antonsen from Denmark gave Ginting a run for his money in the quarter-final. The 24-year-old won the first set 21-18 but lost the second 15-21. In the deciding, the match went right down to the wire, but in the end, Ginting ended with a 21-14 victory.
Long, in the meantime, began with a dominating 21-10, 21-9 win over Estonia’s Raul Must. In the next game against Spain’s Pablo Abian, he won 21-11, 21-10 to give an account of the force he is. However, from there on, the 32-year-old has had to fight hard to secure victories.
In the Round of 16 game, he lost the first set 8-21 against Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia. However, the veteran came back to clinch the next two sets 21-19, 21-5. Against Taiwan’s Chou Tien-chen, he lost the second set 9-21 but managed wins in the other two to book a berth in the semis. Anthony Sinisuka Ginting vs Chen Long: Head-to-Head
