India Open 2024: Hendra/Ahsan And Chico Can't Show

JAKARTA The men's doubles pair Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan are confirmed to have withdrawn from the 2024 India Open which took place this week.

The two veteran badminton players were unable to appear in the Super 750 BWF level event due to Ahsan's injury at the Malaysia Open 2024 which took place last week.

Apart from Hendra/Ahsan, Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo's men's singles are also confirmed to have not been able to appear because his health is not yet 100 percent fit, a problem that makes him miss the Malaysia Open 2024.

Therefore, there are only nine Indonesian representatives who continue their struggle in the first part of the Asian tour. In detail, the two men's singles, one women's singles, three men's doubles, and three mixed doubles.

Athletes who are ready to appear later are the men's singles duo Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Jonatan Christie as well as the women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung.

Men's doubles are Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto, Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, and Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin.

Then, the mixed doubles are Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari, Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati, and Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.

Previously, at the Malaysia Open 2024, the furthest journey of Indonesian representatives only reached the quarter-finals. This is the first in history (since Superseries), not a single Indonesian player in the semifinals of the Malaysia Open.

India Open 2024 will take place on January 16-21, 2024 at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall, Indira Gandhi Sports Complex, New Delhi. This tournament offers a total prize of 850 thousand US dollars.
