BAJC Title Makes Zaki Ubaidillah Confident At Macau Open 2025
JAKARTA Mohammad Zaki Ubaidillah's men's singles will appear more confident at the Macau Open 2025 which took place this week after he received a title from the 2025 Badminton Asia Junior Championships (BAJC).
Ubed, Ubaidillah's nickname, who is the first seed, took the highest podium at BAJC 2025 after defeating China's singles, Yang Ming Yu Liu, with 21-12 and 21-17 at Mahanan's Indoor GOR, Solo, Central Java, on Sunday, July 27, 2025.
"With this result, for the 2025 Macau Open tomorrow, maybe I can be more confident, but I don't want to overdo it. So, keep your focus again and don't let your guard down," said Ubed in the statement.
The title from the individual number made the 18-year-old badminton player manage to save the face of the Indonesian badminton team in this important event that took place at home.
