Indonesia Masters 2024: Ribka Express Great Target With Lanny

JAKARTA The women's doubles Ribka Sugiarto/Lanny Tria Mayasari revealed the big target of winning Super 300, 500, and 750 levels after reaching the semifinals of the Indonesia Masters 2024.

Lanny/Ribka kept the women's doubles hopes in the Super 500 BWF level event by defeating Debora Jille/Cheryl Seinen in two straight games with a score of 21-10 and 21-16 at Istora Gelora Bung Karno, Senayan, Jakarta, Friday, January 26, 2024.

Qualifying for the semifinals makes Ribka's great desire to win even greater. Mainly, she has never collected a title at the Super 500 level with the other two levels she mentioned earlier.

"Because I have never won in Super 300, 500, and 750 before, so the motivation is to want Lanny to win those levels together," said Ribka after the match.

The tough challenge to become champions at the Indonesia Masters 2024 will be faced by Lanny/Ribka in the semifinals on Saturday, January 27, 2024. The reason is, they will meet fourth seed from China, Liu Sheng Shu/Tan Ning.

Previously, Lanny/Ribka had met the couple once at the Orleans Masters 2023. At that time, Lanny/Ribka were forced to give up two straight games.

"For tomorrow, we will play without a burden. Because they (Liu/Tan) are at the peak of their appearance. So, they must be very confident in playing. So, we will play to enjoy playing for tomorrow," said Ribka.

Lanny/Ribka are one of three Indonesian representatives who successfully passed the quarter-finals. The other two tickets for Indonesia were obtained by the men's doubles Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin and Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto.

Unfortunately, Indonesia has also lost two representatives so far. Those who have returned are the women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung and the mixed doubles Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati.
