Indonesia's fifth seed Anthony Ginting suffered an unexpected defeat at badminton's Thailand Open on Thursday to Hong Kong's Lee Cheuk-yiu, who moved into the quarter-finals with a 21-19, 13-21, 21-12 win.
Ginting was Indonesia's last remaining hope after Jonatan Christie's exit on Wednesday, but despite a fightback in the second game, the 20th-ranked Lee was able to close out the match.
"He played better than me," admitted the 24-year-old Ginting, who reached the semi-finals of last week's tournament, also held in the Thai capital.
