Defending champion Anders Antonsen on Saturday breezed through to the Indonesia Masters final after a crushing defeat of Hong Kong's Lee Cheuk-yiu.

The Dane knocked out Lee with a 21-9 21-14 victory, clearing the way for a Sunday face-off with hometown favourite Anthony Sinisuka Ginting at Istora Senayan stadium in the capital Jakarta.

Ginting earned a berth in the final after a 22-20 21-11 semi-final win over Denmark's Viktor Axelsen.

Antonsen described his Indonesian final rival as a "super fast" player.

"I am expecting a really top challenge," the Dane told reporters.

"Ginting is on home court and he is playing really good so I have to bring my absolute best."
