JAKARTA - Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto admitted that their physical condition began to decline due to fatigue. After all, they played six games in two weeks.
The sixth-ranked pair in the world has just qualified for the second round of the Indonesia Open 2022. The last 16 tickets were won after winning 21-19 and 21-14 over Malaysian representatives Goh Sze Fei/Nur Izzuddin on Wednesday, June 15.
"When we talk about physical problems, it's definitely not as fresh as the first time we played at the Indonesia Masters 2022", Fajar said at a press conference after the match.
Before appearing at the Indonesia Open, Fajar/Rian had played five matches at the Indonesia Masters last week. The result is satisfactory, the title is in hand.
After lifting the title last Sunday, Fajar/Rian only had a gap of two days to appear at the Indonesia Open. Even though they admit that their stamina is starting to run out, Fajar/Rian are still trying to focus on continuing their success at Istora Senayan.
"This is not an excuse because all players also experience the same thing. So, it depends on us how we can maintain the condition", he said.
Fajar/Rian will next face the winner of the Alexander Dunn/Adam Hall match against Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri.
