JAKARTA - The men's doubles pair Muhammad Shohibul Fikri / Daniel Marthin were difficult to accept their defeat in the second round of the Indonesia Masters 2025.
Fikri/Daniel had to lift their suitcases from this tournament after losing two games 19-21 and 19-21 against the fifth seed from South Korea, Kang Min-hyuk/Kim Won-ho, on Thursday, January 23, 2025.
"This is not our hope, yes, to accept defeat, but we have tried our best in the field, have tried to get out of the pressure, and are trying to catch up," said Fikri after the match.
This is Fikri/Daniel's first tournament this year. They previously missed the Malaysia Open 2025 (Super 1000 BWF) and the India Open 2025 (Super 750 BWF).
They were unable to play in two tournaments due to lack of preparation. The China Masters in November 2024, when they fell in the first half, was their last place before appearing at Istora.

"Maybe we should also be picky because the tournament is close together. Just come back again, we are just players so when we play, yes, we have to be ready," said Daniel.
Apart from Fikri/Daniel, the defeat was also felt by two mixed doubles by Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu and Marwan Faza/Aisyah Salsabila Putri Pranata.
So far, Indonesia has only secured one ticket to the quarter-finals. The ticket was obtained by Rinov Rivaldy/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati who won over Gregory Mairs/Jenny Mairs.
