Leo/Daniel And Pramudya/Yeremia Still Many Unforced Errors

JAKARTA - Men's doubles coach Aryono Miranat revealed why the pair Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin and Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Rambitan were eliminated early in the 2022 Korea Masters event.

The pair's second move immediately stopped in the first half. Pramudya/Yeremia lost to Malaysia's representatives Tan Kian Meng/Tan Wee Kiong, while Leo/Daniel were stopped by the Chinese pair Liu Yu Chen/Ou Xuan Yi.

"The game is quite good, it's just that the calmness, control, unforced errors have to be improved. Besides, there are some technical shortcomings," said Aryono in an official statement received.

The two Indonesian representatives both lost in three sets. Leo/Daniel stole the win in the first set, but lost the next two sets.

Meanwhile, Pramudya/Yeremia only secured the second set.

Aryono said that Leo/Daniel seemed to be playing less calm and in control during the final points. In addition, they often make hard ball returns, either smashes or drives which actually open up space for opponents to counterattack.

"For Pramudya / Jeremiah, it's more or less the same. At the final points, the accuracy of the ball returns is not good, so the opponent is easier to kill," said Aryono.

"Both are almost the same, when there is an opportunity to get points, there is less control, less calm. So even the accuracy of the return is not good. Our position is not good, so when we are attacked we are easy to turn off," he continued.

This result left Indonesia only two representatives of Indonesia in the round of 16. The two pairs are Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana and Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari mixed doubles.
