Hendra/Ahsan Withdraw From Indonesia Masters 2024

JAKARTA - Men's doubles pair Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan withdrew from the Indonesia Masters 2024 because they were still in the process of recovering from injury.

The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) has just confirmed the withdrawal of the pair nicknamed The Daddies from this Super 500 BWF level event via Instagram on Monday, January 22, 2024.

"The Daddies still have to be absent because (Mohammad) Ahsan is in the process of recovering from injury," wrote PBSI.

Hendra/Ahsan previously appeared at the Malaysia Open 2024 two weeks ago. However, they withdrew in the middle of the second round of the BWF Super 1000 level event.

The injury problem made them miss the India Open 2024 last week. Of the two events, the furthest journey from Indonesian representatives was the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, the good news is that the women's doubles pair Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti and the men's singles Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo have arrived. They have recovered and are ready to appear at the Indonesia Masters 2024.

They previously missed two tournaments, the Malaysia Open and India Open 2024. Apri is recovering so he is absent from his partner, while Chico is constrained by injury to the waist.

For the Indonesia Masters 2024, Merah-White targets to repeat last year's achievements. At that time, Indonesia received two titles each from men's singles and doubles.

The men's singles title was won by Jonatan Christie who defeated his compatriot Chico. Meanwhile, the men's doubles won through the pair Leo Rolly/Carnando Daniel Marthin.
