JAKARTA - The hosts are confirmed to send two representatives in the final of the 2022 Indonesia Masters. That was after the Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto pair ended the resistance of the Chinese representatives, He Ji Ting/Zhou Hao Dong.
Fajar/Rian won the ticket to the final after winning two straight games over He/Zhou. In a match for 43 minutes, they won 21-17 and 21-17.
In the final, Fajar/Rian will face Liang Wei Keng/Wang Chang. This pair eliminated the first seed from Indonesia, Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, in the semifinals.
In the match against He/Zhou, Fajar/Rian performed exceptionally. They were under pressure at the beginning of the first game to fall behind 6-9. However, slowly rose and turned to lead 11-9 at the interval.
He / Zhou had equalized 11-11. But after that, Fajar/Rian was unstoppable. They continued to be ahead of their opponents and closed the first game with a score of 21-17.
In the second game, the same situation occurred. Fajar/Rian always lag behind in points. In fact, they had left quite far 11-15.
However, Fajar/Rian's mentality and Istora Senayan's public support were the keys to the revival. The Indonesian pair were able to equalize to 15-15 before finally winning 17-15.
He/Zhou didn't want to give up so easily. The Chinese representative managed to catch up and make the position 17-17. However, Fajar/Rian, who wanted to end the match in two games, immediately appeared violent. They won four consecutive points to close the second game with a score of 21-17.
