Alwi Farhan Immediately Sets A High Target After Winning The Macau Open 2025

JAKARTA The men's singles badminton player, Alwi Farhan, immediately set a high target after he managed to climb onto the highest podium at the Macau Open 2025.

Alwi, who is the fifth seed in the Super 300 BWF tournament, won the title thanks to beating Justin Hoh of Malaysia with a score of 21-15 and 21-5 at the Macao East Asian Games Dome on Sunday, August 3, 2025.

The 2023 junior world champion said that this title was only a start for him. He has ambitions to maintain consistency for other higher achievements.

"Alhamdulillah, I am very grateful and very happy. This is my wishlist goal for the short term. I have been waiting for this since the beginning of the year."

"In the future, I will definitely aim for a higher level. Super 500, 750, 1000. My target is to complete all the titles," he said in a statement received.

The final round in Macau is the first final for Alwi on the BWF World Tour stage so far on his career. It's also his third appearance in three consecutive weeks.

Before traveling to the champions, the 20-year-old badminton player played at Japan and the 2025 China Open. In a row in both tournaments, he ran aground in the second and first half.

"Today I was better at controlling the game, taking care of my emotions, and carrying out my strategy well."

"Indeed, if you look at it this week, I can be in a stable emotional condition. I learned from the previous two tournaments," said Alwi.

On the way to the final, Alwi managed to stop the second seed from India, namely Lakshya Sen. The victory occurred in the semifinals.

"My coach, Indra Wijaya really helped me. So far in the tournament, everything is in line. Our communication is also very good."

"This title is definitely for myself first. Then for parents, coaches, PBSI, Indonesian people, and for everyone I love," said Alwi.
