JAKARTA – Mixed doubles coach Nova Widianto is focused on restoring his team's confidence ahead of the 2022 Korea Open. Satisfactory results are also expected to be obtained at the Super 500 level tournament.

The Korea Open will be the fourth mixed doubles tournament in the last five weeks following the tour in Europe. During their tour in Europe, they had less than satisfactory results.

"We are focused on restoring the children's confidence after the poor results on the European tour. Hopefully, in Korea they can talk more", Nova said in a statement received by VOI.

After the tour in Europe, the team immediately went to Korea so that their condition was not 100 percent due to the long journey. For this reason, the coaching team needs to be very good at providing training menus so that the condition of their foster children does not decrease drastically.

Mixed doubles and other sectors have undergone training even though they are not optimal. Light exercises are given by the coaching team to keep their foster children's body condition stable when facing the match later.

"For the problem, there is the problem of jetlag after coming from Europe, the sleeping hours are disturbed because the time difference is quite significant here", said Nova.

Indonesia sent as many as ten representatives to the Korea Open which will be held on April 5-10. In the mixed doubles, Indonesia was strengthened by Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari, and the pair Adnan Maulana/Mychelle Crhystine Bandaso.

As for the men's singles, Indonesia followed Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Jonatan Christie, and Shesar Hiren Rhustavito.

Meanwhile, in the men's doubles, the Red and White team fielded veteran doubles Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan, Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto, Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Erich Yoche Yacob Rambitan, Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin, and Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri.
