Germany Open 2024 Results: Rehan/Lisa To The Second Round
JAKARTA - Mixed doubles pair Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati qualified for the second round of the 2024 German Open.
The seventh seeded pair started their journey in the Super 300 BWF event by defeating the Scottish pair, Adam Hall/Julie Macpherson, two straight games 22-20 and 21-9.
"Alhamdulillah, we were able to win in this opening round match. However, in terms of our game, it was still a bit uncomfortable, especially in the first game. Evidently, the numbers were tight," said Rehan after the match.
