PETALING JAYA: Indonesian shuttler Anthony Ginting dropped a bombshell by announcing his decision to withdraw from the World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark, starting on Monday.The world No. 2 is still mourning the loss of his mother Lucia Sriati, who passed away on Aug 9.On his eleventh-hour withdrawal, head coach Irwansyah said: “Ginting will not participate at the World Championships because he is still mourning his beloved Mama.
Ukrainian Danylo Bosniuk, who was slated to face Ginting in the opening round, has now progressed to the second round. Ginting, who was the second seed in the tournament, looked like Indonesia’s best bet to reach the final as he has captured two titles this year so far – the Asian Championships in April and Singapore Open in June – and was expected to face Axelsen in the final.
In the absence of Ginting, Indonesia will be banking on fifth seed Jonatan Christie and unseeded Chico Aura to bring home a medal.
