JAKARTA - The top seeded men's doubles Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan are the only Indonesian representatives to qualify for the quarter-finals of the India Open 2022 after defeating the host representatives in New Delhi, Thursday.
Quoted from Antara, the pair nicknamed The Daddies won two straight games 21-17, 21-9 over Bhaskar Chakraboty/Kapil Chaudary in a 22-minute match.
Before hosting Hendra/Ahsan, Bhaskar/Kapil first defeated their compatriots, namely Shashwat Dalal/Satinder Malik, 21-17, 21-18 on Tuesday.
Facing the newly paired Indian men's doubles, it is not a big obstacle for the representatives of Indonesia, who have won three world titles.
The Daddies pack a landslide advantage in both games. Bhaskar/Kapil put up a fight in the first game, but still not enough to catch up.
Likewise in the second game, the Indian men's doubles could not develop their game because they were already under pressure from Hendra/Ahsan who were difficult to tame. Hendra/Ahsan also recorded a 1-0 meeting score against Bhaskar/Kapil in their inaugural match, Thursday. .
In the last eight of this Super 500 tournament, The Daddies will next meet the men's doubles from Norway ranked 82nd, Torjus Flaatten/Vegard Rikhem which will also be the first meeting between the two pairs.
The Daddies are the only Indonesian time remaining after the men's singles player Tommy Sugiarto was eliminated in the first round.
