Jakarta (B2B) - Kontingen Indonesia dipastikan tanpa mendapatkan gelar di Kejuaraan Dunia Bulutangkis 2014 di Kopenhagen, Denmark, 25 hingga 31 Agustus setelah Tommy Sugiarto terhenti langkahnya.
Pemain tunggal putra uggulan kelima itu pada babak semifinal harus mengakui keunggulan wakil Tiongkok yang juga unggulan kedua di kejuaraan tersebut, Chen Long dengan skor 16-21 dan 20-22.
"Saya menerima hasil ini. Tapi, penyesalan tentu ada. Padahal, saya punya peluang untuk ke final," kata putra Icuk Sugiarto, mantan juara dunia 1983, seperti dilansir tim media PBSI, Minggu.
Pertandingan melawan Chen Long, menurut dia, berlangsung secara ketat meski harus kehilangan momen di babak pertama. Namun, ia menimpali, di babak kedua pertandingan berlangsung ketat.
Kondisi kurang bagus dialami Tommy setelah dirinya terpeleset. Kondisi ini langsung dimanfaatkan dengan bagus oleh lawan. Meski terus memberikan perlawanan, pemain peringkat lima dunia itu harus menyerah di babak dua dengan 20-22. (Ant)
