JAKARTA - The host's hope to go far in the Indonesia Open 2025 now rests on the men's doubles sector, after the only representative on the women's doubles Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi also fell in the quarter-finals.
The world number 10 women's doubles surrendered to the representative of South Korea, Baek Ha Na/Lee So Hee through a rubber game 21-18, 16-21, 7-21 at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, Friday.
The opponent looks eager to win. They are much more prepared for the attacks we built," Tiwi said after the match.
Ana/Tiwi, Febriana/Pratiwi's nickname, started the match with an impressive performance and was able to win the first game. However, they struggled to keep up with changes in the pattern of the opponent's game which appeared more aggressive in the second and third games.
Lawan mengubah pola dengan bermain mempercepat tempo permainan. Dari situasi itu, kami kurang bisa mengatasi tekanan tersebut, ujar Ana.
This result made Ana/Tiwi fail to go further than the quarter-finals throughout the 2025 season. Previously they were stopped in the last eight at the Indonesia Masters, Thailand Open, and Malaysia Masters.

However, they are determined to bounce back, by trying to make better achievements in the next tournaments, including the Japan Open which will take place on July 15 20.
"After this we will focus on the Japan Open. We will maximize the preparation, especially from the individual side so that it can appear more consistent," said Tiwi.
Ana/Tiwi's defeat complemented Indonesia's unsatisfactory results in the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Open 2025.
Previously, the women's singles Kusuma Wardani lost 19-21, 20-22 to Akane Yamaguchi (Japan), while the mixed doubles Adnan Maulana/Indah Cahya Sari Jamil were defeated by French pair Thom Gicquel/Delphine Delrue 11-21, 21-23.
Thus, Indonesia only leaves two men's doubles representatives today who are also struggling in the last eight.
They are Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto who will face Huang Di/Liu Yang (China) and Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani who will fight the Malaysian pair, Goh Sze Fei/Nur Izzuddin.
