Korea Masters 2024: Sabar/Reza Qualify For The Last 16

JAKARTA - Men's doubles pair, Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani qualified for the second round of the 2024 Korea Masters.

The third seed got a ticket after being forced to play rubber games 21-18, 10-21, and 21-19 against Chinese representatives Taipei, Chen Zhi Ray/Lin Yu Chieh, on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, evening WIB.

Before the first game interval, Sabar/Reza were left behind more. They had twice taken the lead and almost took the lead during the break, but failed.

After the interval, the opponent still dominates. However, everything changed after Sabar/Reza could score five consecutive points when they were 12-15 behind.

The appearance of Sabar/Reza in the second game is much more messy. They only had the opportunity to equalize the score 1-1 and after that they couldn't reach the opponent's points.

During the deciding game, the match was fierce again. The two pairs took turns leading each other before Sabar/Reza got up scoring four points to lead 20-18.

The opponent had postponed a match point before Sabar/Reza locked the victory and secured the first ticket for Indonesia.

The runner-up for the 2024 Macau Open is one of two Indonesian men's doubles who play in this Super 300 BWF level tournament. One other couple is Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Daniel Marthin.

Previously, Indonesia had lost women's doubles Jesita Putri Miantoro/Febi Setianingrum. The pair failed to enter the second half after being intercepted by the Chinese women's doubles Taipei, Hu Ling Fang/Jheng Yu Chieh.
