Jonatan, 27, fought back from one game down to secure victory 13–21, 21–15, 21–15 in a match that lasted one hour and 12 minutes.

Facing a dominant opponent known for his sharp net play and attacking precision, Jonatan struggled in the opening game as Shi controlled the tempo and took the lead 21–13.

But the Indonesian star rallied in the second game, displaying greater patience and tactical variety. Mixing deep clears with sharp smashes to the corners, he regained momentum. Backed by loud support from Indonesian fans in the stands, Jonatan leveled the match 21–15.

The decider saw Jonatan maintain his composure and dictate play with powerful smashes and solid defense. Shi appeared increasingly pressured as Jonatan pulled ahead, sealing the final game 21–15 to claim one of the biggest titles of his career.
