JAKARTA — Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan failed to increase Indonesia's men's doubles quota in the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Masters 2022.

The 2019 world champion was stopped in the round of 16 after losing to the South Korean pair Kang Min Hyuk/Seo Seung Jae with a score of 19-21, 21-18, 19-21 at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday, June 9.

This defeat also adds to The Daddies' bad record with the Korean pair. Previously, The Daddies had also given up three sets in the semifinals of the Korea Open Badminton Championship 2022.

In addition, the failure of Hendra/Ahsan made Indonesia only have two representatives of the men's doubles in the quarter-finals.

The two representatives who passed were Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto.

Kevin/Marcus made a dramatic escape after defeating Thai representatives Supak Jomkoh/Kittinupong Kedren, while Fajar/Rian won over Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Rambitan.

Meanwhile, from the Indonesian women's singles number, it is certain that they will not have a representative in the quarter-finals.

That's after the women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung surrendered to the fourth seeded Indian representative Pusarla V Sindhu.
