Syed Modi India 2023: Alwi Farhan Stops In Quarter Finals

JAKARTA The Indonesian men's singles, Alwi Farhan, failed to advance to the semifinals of Syed Modi India International 2023.

The 18-year-old badminton player's move was confirmed to have stalled after losing two straight games, 15-21 and 16-21, against the host's representative, Priyanshu Rajawat, on Friday, December 1, 2023 evening WIB.

Alwi immediately lost five points in a row at the start of the first game. He then slowly rose, but still the same figure distance still lasted until the interval.

After the interval, the Surakarta-born athlete continued to try to catch up. However, the closest distance between the figure and the opponent only occurred once at the position of 14-15.

In the second game, Alwi started a positive start with two points. However, the opponent immediately got up and responded with seven points in a row.

Alwi did not want to remain silent and chased back with four consecutive points. Both then fought tight 9-9 and 10-10 before Indonesia's representative narrowly won one point in the interval.

After that, Alwi continued to produce points until he led 15-12. However, after equal position 16-16, Priyanshu immediately scored five consecutive points to get a semifinal ticket.

This defeat also worsened Alwi's winning record against Priyanshu to 0-2. Previously, he had lost in Bahrain International Challenge 2022.

Alwi's failure to make Indonesia now just has to hope for Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.

The pair qualified for the semifinals after stopping Singapore's representative, Terry Hee Yong Kai/Jessica Tan Wei Han.
