Kepoin Figur Publik #GetToKnow - Yonathan Ramlie

 Let’s we see the Indonesian youngster of Men Singles. We could say he is one of four Indonesian Next-Promising-badminton player in men single section. In 2021 he just got promoted to the main group (adult stage). Let’s talk more about him.

As he is still a junior in the national team, not much info I could collect about him. So, I will share some info that I got. You may add some info you have in the comment section below. Let’s discuss!

Yonatan Ramlie was born on January 31^st, 2001 (in Jakarta?). Today he is 20 years old. He was coming from Tangkas Badminton Club, a badminton home club of Simon Santoso and Jonatan Christie, as well. Nowadays, Yonathan Ramlie, or we could say him as Jojo Junior proudly known as the top four of next future idol of the Indonesian Men Singles together with Christian Adinata, Bobby Setiabudi, and Syabda Belawa. Both of them starts to get popular since the Badminton Asia Junior Championship in 2019. Even though none of them got the individual title, but as a team, Indonesian Junior players have won first place dramatically against the China National Junior team: 3-2.

 

We are going back to Yonathan Ramlie’s.

He hasn’t won many championship titles, but Indonesian fans believe that he would become an elite badminton player just like his seniors. In 2019, his highest achievement was reaching the final round of Celcom Axiata Malaysia Junior International Challenge U-19, however, he lost to his compatriot, Bobby Setiabudi: 20-22, 16-21. Previously, he reached the semifinal round of BWF Junior Championship 2019 and lost to Kunlavut Vidtisarn (Thailand): 11-21, 10-21.

Not the best result for him, but we think that Victor Malaysia International Series 2019 would be his point. He lost the game to the host country representative who had joined many international tournaments than him, Cheam Jun Wei: 22-24, 9-21.

A year before, in 2018, Yonathan’s highest achievement was being a semifinalist in Celcom Axiata Malaysia International Junior Open, his senior, Ikhsan Leonardo Imanuel Rumbay had defeated him: 13-21, 15-21.

Also, lost to his another senior compatriot, Karono in Victor Exist Jakarta Open Junior International Championship 2018 semifinal: 21-18, 12-21, 20-22.

 

In 2021 PBSI promotion and degradation list, we can see Yonathan Ramlie’s name is in the main list name of MS. Yeah, he is just got a promotion to the main stage. We hope he could follow his senior success for the international tournaments.

I will update this page as soon he gets another title champion for him. See you.
