Indonesian men's singles badminton player Alwi Farhan hopes to face his senior Jonatan Christie at the BWF World Tour Super 1,000 Indonesia Open 2025 held at Istora Senayan June 3-8.
Alwi said that Jonatan was a role model since his childhood, and hoped to meet him in the next rounds of the highest level tournament in the world.
"If it's a wish, hopefully in the later rounds. I want to meet Jonatan, to be fair, " said Alwi at the PBSI Cipayung National Training Center, Jakarta, Wednesday.
Alwi is confirmed to be on the list of participants for the 2025 Indonesia Open after breaking into the top 30 of the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
"Because, yes, he has become the person I have seen since I was little. Yesterday I was also quite happy and proud, because the person I used to see on TV could become the person who could tell me intimately," said Alwi.
