Malaysia Open 2024: 6 Indonesian Representatives Qualify For Round Of 16

JAKARTA Indonesia successfully passed as many as six representatives to the second round or the last 16 of the Malaysia Open 2024.

The two sectors with the most representatives who still survive are men's doubles and mixed ones. These two numbers still have two pairs each in the Super 1000 event.

From the men's doubles, there are still Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan and Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto. Meanwhile, the mixed doubles are Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja and Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati.

In the second round, Thursday, January 11, 2024, Hendra/Ahsan will meet the Chinese pair, He Ji Ting/Ren Xiang Yu. Then, the defending champion Fajar/Rian faced the Chinese Taipei doubles, Fang-Chih Lee/Fang-Jen Lee.

The Rehan/Lisa mixed doubles will face China's first seed, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong, and Dejan/Gloria meet South Korean representatives Seo Seung-jae/Chae Yu-jung.

Two other Indonesian representatives are the men's singles Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and the women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung.

Ginting will meet Lu Guang Zu (China) later, while Gregoria will be challenged by Goh Jin Wei's deputy host.

Indonesia actually sent 11 representatives. Unfortunately, the other five representatives will certainly have to lift their suitcases earlier than the Axiata Arena.

The five representatives who were eliminated were Jonatan Christie, Putri Kusuma Wardani, Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin, Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, and Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari.
