Jonatan Christie reaches Denmark Open last 16
The defending men's singles champion will face Alwi Farhan, who beat Ayush Shetty in three games.
Indonesia's Jonatan Christie beat Taiwan's Lin Chun Yi 21-13, 21-14 at Fyn Arena in Odense on 14 October to progress from the opening round of the Denmark Open 2026. The 29-year-old is defending the men's singles title.
An early 0-3 deficit did not hold Christie back: he took six consecutive points and reached the first-game interval 11-4 ahead. Lin responded with four successive points after the break, but Christie pulled away again, building leads of 14-8 and 17-10 before taking the game.
From 1-1 in the second game, Christie moved ahead 6-2 and held an 11-6 advantage at the interval. The world No. 4 was briefly unable to move beyond 14 points before establishing a 15-10 lead over his 12th-ranked opponent. He then extended that margin to 18-12 before completing the win.
Christie's next opponent, Alwi Farhan, defeated Ayush Shetty 21-11, 13-21, 21-10. Another Indonesian men's singles representative, Moh Zaki Ubaidillah, was eliminated on 13 October.
