Jonatan Christie was unable to handle the pressure from fellow world's top player, Lee Zii Jia, in the first round of the Badminton World Championships in Denmark. Indonesia is left with only Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo in the men's singles.

Not only did Jonatan lose faster compared to when he reached the quarterfinals of the 2019 and 2022 World Championships, but he was also eliminated from the game that finished quite briefly, which was only 39 minutes. Jonatan lost with a score of 13-21, 15-21. However, the match held on Court 2 of the Royal Arena was not as intense as anticipated by badminton fans or as in their last meeting in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Denmark Open. At that time, Jonatan also lost, but the match was closely contested, 16-21, 21-18, 18-21, in a duration of one hour and seven minutes.
On the other hand, Jonatan had difficulty overcoming Lee's strong defense, despite his coach's attempt to change his playing style to be more aggressive. Jonatan lost many points when Lee showcased his fast-paced rhythm game. Jonatan's early lead in each game could quickly turn around. Meanwhile, in an earlier match, Putri Kusuma Wardani became the first Indonesian representative to win the initial round. Putri defeated Ukraine's representative, Polina Buhrova, with a score of 21-7, 21-23."I am happy and grateful to be able to advance to the second round because last year I was stopped in the first round. At least there is an improvement compared to last year," said Putri, who will face the fifth-seeded Chinese player, He Bing Jiao, in the second round.
"We try to think positively when on the field and always make an effort to communicate well," said Gloria.
