Dejan/Gloria Bring Revenge To Indonesia Open 2024

JAKARTA - Mixed doubles pair Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja will start the first round of the Indonesia Open 2024 with revenge.

Dejan/Gloria have just lost two straight games 19-21 and 6-21 in the second round of the Singapore Open 2024 against Ye Hong Wei/Lee Chia Shin, Thursday, May 30, 2024.

Gloria said that they would try to avenge this defeat at the Indonesia Open 2024 next week. Moreover, they will meet the same opponent in the first round.

"This is a lesson for us to prepare more for their opponents because at the Indonesia Open 2024 next week we will meet again in the first round," said Gloria.

Dejan/Gloria are the second representatives of Indonesia who were eliminated in the second round of the Singapore Open 2024. Previously, Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo's men's singles had already lifted the suitcase.

Dejan said that he and his partner lost the start today. He said the opponent was much more prepared and managed to attack first, making them look uncomfortable.

"We panicked and in the end we couldn't get out of the pressure. In addition, the shuttlecock was a bit difficult to control, unstable," he said.

Previously, a ticket to the quarter-finals for Indonesia had been secured by Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti.

The couple got a pass ticket without having to compete because their potential opponent from Ukraine, Polina Buhrova/Yevheniia Kantemyr, withdrew.
