Defending champion Jan O. Jorgensen of Denmark sailed to the Indonesia Open finals after Germany's Marc Zwiebler was forced to retire due to illness on Saturday. Third-seeded Jorgensen faced a tough fight from Zwiebler, who refused to let up and kept points tight up to 17-17 in the first set. The German, however, made unforced errors afterwards that handed victory to Jorgensen.
Embracing the victory, last year's men's singles winner Jorgensen said: "It feels amazing to be in two finals in a row. That's crazy." Zwiebler said he was forced to retire after what appeared to be food poisoning. "I ate food at the hotel and something was not right. I spent the night and day in the bathroom. Before the match, I got a high temperature. I went to see a doctor. It was 39 Celsius," Zwiebler said after the game.
