JAKARTA Bad record of never winning Putri Kusuma Wardani against Han Yue continued when the two met in the quarter-finals of the Malaysia Masters 2025.
The defeat of two straight games 12-21 and 13-21 in this latest clash made Putri KW fail to maintain the expectations of Indonesian women's singles at the Super 500 BWF level tournament.
The 22-year-old badminton player who was born in Tangerang who was the eighth seed in this event was indeed the only Indonesian women's singles representative to appear at the Axiata Arena.
The series of defeats suffered by Putri against Han Yue began in the first round of the Singapore Open 2022. At that time, Putri KW suffered a loss of two straight games.

Putri Kusuma Wardani then fought back three games in their second competitive clash which took place in the second round of the Hong Kong Open 2023.
Two other women's defeats before the meeting at the Malaysia Masters 2025 all occurred last year, respectively from the first round of the Malaysia Open and the final of the Hong Kong Open 2024.
Apart from the women's singles, it was confirmed that the mixed doubles no longer had representatives in the tournament after Dejan Ferdinansyah/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti died.
The couple share the same fate as Putri after failing to maintain the first set of advantages against the Chinese mixed doubles who are the seventh seed, Cheng Xing/Zhang Chi.
Fadia still has hope in this tournament because she also plays in women's doubles. In that sector, she will appear with Lanny Tria Mayasari this afternoon.
