Indonesian men's singles player Radithya Bayu Wardhana is using his Yonex-Sunrise Jaya Raya Junior International Grand Prix 2026 title as a confidence boost for his upcoming tournament.
Radithya won the U-19 category after defeating seventh seed Boon Le Lim from Malaysia in two straight games 21-13, 21-9 in the final at the PB Jaya Raya Sports Hall, South Tangerang, Sunday.
"I'm definitely happy to win my first Jaya Raya Junior International GP. I've been focused on my game from the start," Radithya said in a written statement from the Indonesian Badminton Association after the match.
Radithya said focused preparation from the start was key to controlling the game. He also anticipated Boon Le Lim's controlling playstyle, similar to his own.
"My anticipation of my opponent was more non-technical. My opponent has the same playing style as me, which is controlling, so I tried to play stronger," he said.
