The defending men's singles title is Indonesia's Jonatan

Jonatan, who has yet to win his first title this season, is currently ranked No. 2 in the world and is the third seed at the All England Open Badminton Championships this week. On the same day, against Liang Junhao, who was ranked 24th in the world, when Jonatan led 11:8 in the first game, he pulled out a 6:0 offensive to expand the difference, and he was happy to take the lead.

In the second game, Jonatan continued his hot performance, once holding a 14:6 large lead, and although he was chased to a 1-point difference, Jonatan did not give his opponent a chance to extend the game and successfully won the second game in a straight row.

The last men's singles player to defend his title at the All England Championships was Malaysian legend Lee Chong Wei who won the title twice in a row in 2010 and 2011, and now Jonatan will be challenging for a record after 14 years.
