JAKARTA – Men's doubles badminton player Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo continues to prepare for the All England 2022. He hopes to get maximum results according to the preparations made.
Kevin Sanjaya, who was paired with Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, had a slick achievement in the oldest tournament in the world. So far, they have brought home two titles from the BWF Super 1000 level event.
They won each of these titles in 2017 and 2018. They won their first title after defeating the Chinese pair Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen, while their second title came when they beat the Danish pair, Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen.
"What is certain is that we will continue to try our best, give our best and hopefully the results will be maximal," Kevin said in an official statement received by VOI.
Kevin and his friends are currently in Birmingham. They left Jakarta on Friday, March 11, on an Emirates flight EK 359 bound for Dubai before continuing their flight to the UK.
Arriving at Queen Elizabeth's country, Kevin and his friends immediately started light training at the fitness center. They then practiced technique on Sunday, March 13 yesterday.
"Preparations in Jakarta have been quite good. Today's training is to restore body condition and find the feeling of being hit. The adaptation will be when you practice in the main hall," said Kevin.
The All England Championship will take place on March 16-20. Four Indonesian representatives from the men's doubles number directly faced each other in the first round of the Super 1000 level tournament.
The Indonesian pairs that directly faced each other included Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto against their juniors Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin and Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana versus Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Rambitan.
Meanwhile, Kevin and Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, who are the first seeds, will be challenged by Korean representatives Choi Solgyu/Seo Seung Jae.
