Full Speed! Indonesian Badminton Team From French Open To Hylo Open

JAKARTA - The Indonesian badminton team doesn't have enough time to just relax. After appearing at the 2021 French Open, they had to gaspol in order to continue competing at the 2021 Hylo Open.

The struggle of Indonesian badminton players in the Blue Continent will continue to the city of Saarbrucken, Germany. Where on November 2-7, the Hylo Open tournament will take place.

The Hylo Open itself is actually not a new tournament, it just changed its name from the Saarlorlux Open. Not only changing its name, this tournament has also leveled up from World Tour Super 300 to 500.

When compared to the French Open, the Hylo Open is a tournament with less prestige. However, this event will actually have its own challenges for the representatives of Indonesia.

Time is a big challenge for the badminton players who will participate in the Hylo Open 2021. Because there are five Indonesian representatives who have continued to appear without a break since participating in the Sudirman Cup at the end of last September.

The five names are Gregoria Mariska Tunjung who played in the men's singles number, as well as a number of names in the men's and mixed doubles such as Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo, Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan, Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto, and Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti/Rebekah Sugiarto.

If calculated, the Hylo Open 2021 itself is the fifth tournament for the names above. Where they passed this championship in just six weeks.

With such a tight time lag, the athletes were asked to be careful. Because, not only prone to fatigue, the risk of injury also haunts them. This consideration has also become one of the points that have made a number of top badminton players choose to step aside at the Hylo Open 2021.

Nevertheless, Indonesia apparently still sent a number of representatives to the event. The following is a list of Indonesian representatives at the Hylo Open 2021 as reported by VOI from the BWF official website.

Men's Singles: Tommy Sugiarto.

Women's Singles: Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, Ruselli Hartawan.
