JAKARTA - Putri Kusuma Wardani failed to break a bad record and never won against Akane Yamaguchi when they met again in the semifinals of the Korea Open 2025.
Putri could not penetrate the final round of the tournament because she lost in two straight games 9-21 and 14-21 at Suwon Gymnasium, South Korea, on Saturday, September 27, 2025.
The latest result made Putri's winning record against the Japanese women's singles and the former world number one to 0-6. Three of the defeats even occurred in a row.
Before meeting in Korea, these two names faced off at the BWF World Championships and China Masters last week. Putri fought three games at the World Championships and then lost two games in China.

In addition to this 23-year badminton player, the defeat in the semifinals was also felt by Amri Syahnawi/Nita Violina Marwah and Alwi Farhan, who lost against Jonathan.
The Korean Open 2025 finals will take place on Sunday, September 28, 2025. The series of matches will start at 11.00 local time or 09.00 WIB.
The two Indonesian representatives who entered the final were both the first seeded. Jonathan will face Anders Antonsen from Denmark, while Fajar/Fikri meet the host representatives Kim Won Ho/Seo Seung Jae.
