JAKARTA - Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo and Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari are confirmed to be absent from the two prestigious badminton tournaments, Spain and Orleans Masters 2023.
Chico and Rinov were injured and had to withdraw from the tournament. Head of Public Relations and Media of PBSI, Broto Happy said, the Indonesian representative was not in a fit state to participate.
"Information from the Head of Sub-Division of PBSI Pelatnas, Eddy Prayitno, Chico withdrew from Spain and Orleans. Likewise, Rinov resigned from the two tournaments," said Broto Happy in a statement received on Tuesday, March 28.
Previously Chico was known to have suffered a leg injury against Viktor Axelsen in the first round of the Swiss Open 2023. That then forced him to withdraw in the first set.
Rinov also experienced a similar situation. He was injured so he chose to withdraw in the quarter-finals of the Swiss Open.
An injury storm was also experienced by Indonesia's mainstay women's doubles, Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia when appearing in the semifinals of the Swiss Open 2023. In an effort last Saturday, March 25, Apri/Fadia were forced to finish the match in the second set with a score of 10-16.
They could not finish the match against the South Korean representative, Yuki Fukushima/Sayaka Hirota because Apriyani had problems with her shoulder. However, regarding the participation of these women's doubles in the follow-up tournament, PBSI has not been able to confirm it.
