Indonesia International Challenge 2024: 3 Men's Doubles Clashes In The Last 16
JAKARTA Three Indonesian men's doubles pairs will certainly face each other in the round of 16 of the Indonesia International Challenge 2024.
This happened after the couple Rahmat Hidayat/Yeremia Erich Yoche Yacob Rambitan also passed the first round of the tournament which took place in East Java Expo, Surabaya, East Java, on Wednesday, October 23, 2024.
The first seed followed in the footsteps of his colleagues after winning against Chinese representatives Taipei, Tzu Hung Chiu/Po Chih Yang, two straight games 21-15 and 22-20.
The pair who made their debut at Thailand Masters 2024 lost their focus on the second game. Fortunately, the Sri Lanka International Challenge 2024 champion was able to rise quickly.
"This is our lesson to look at the next round," said Yeremia in a statement received from PBSI Public Relations.
