Winning The Civil War Against Pramudya/Yeremia, Fajar/Rian Entered The Quarter Finals Of The Indonesia Masters 2022

JAKARTA — Men's doubles Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto reached the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Masters 2022. The ticket to the last eight was achieved after winning over their compatriots, Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Erich Rambitan.

Fajar/Rian recovered from losing the first game to break their team's bad record by winning the rubber games 16-21, 21-17 and 21-13 at Istora, Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday, June 9.

This is the third meeting between the two couples. This victory is the first for Fajar/Rian over Pramudya/Yeremia.

In the previous two meetings, Fajar / Rian were recorded as always losing. Respectively in the quarter-finals of the Hylo Open 2021 and the semifinals of the 2022 Asian Championships.

In the next round, Fajar/Rian will meet the third seed from Chinese Taipei, Lee Yang/Wang Chi-Lin, who passed after defeating representatives from Singapore, Hee Yong Kai/Loh Kean Hean.

Unfortunately, Fajar/Rian's steps were not followed by a number of other Indonesian representatives. Indonesian men's singles Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo failed to get a ticket to the quarter-finals after losing to the eighth seeded Singaporean representative, Loh Kean Yew.

Chico gave up two straight games with a score of 11-21 and 14-21. This defeat worsened Chico's win-lose record with the world's 10th ranked to 0-4.

Meanwhile, Meilysa Tria Puspita Sari/Rachel Allessya Rose lost to the first seed, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yi Fan. They surrendered 9-21 and 16-21 from the Chinese representative.

Anisanaya Kamila/AZ Zahra D. Ramadhani's move also stopped in the last 16 after losing to Jongkolphan Kititharakul/Rawinda Prajongjai. Representatives of Indonesia were defeated 6-21 and 15-21 from the fourth seed.

Meanwhile, Arlya Nabila Thesa Munggaran/Agnia Sri Rahayu also lost to the Chinese representatives, Liu Xuan Xuan/Xia Yu Ting. The eighth seed won 21-7 and 21-13.
