JAKARTA — It is confirmed that Indonesia will no longer have a representative at the 2022 Indonesia Open. This is after Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto's steps were stopped.

Last week's Indonesia Masters 2022 champions were defeated by representatives of China Liu Yu Chen/Ou Xian Yi 18-21 and 18-21 at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Friday, June 17.

Fajar/Rian became the last representatives of Indonesia to be eliminated from the BWF Super 1000 event from the four representatives who fought in the quarter-finals today.

Previously, the semifinal ticket failed to get Anthony Sinisuka Ginting's singles. His steps stopped after losing three games to Viktor Axelsen 13-21, 21-19, 9-21.

This is Axelsen's second straight win over Anthony in two weeks. These two players previously met in the semifinals of the Indonesia Masters 2022 last week.

At that time, Anthony had to bury his dream of advancing to the final after being beaten in two straight games, 21-15 and 21-15.

Apart from Anthony, the women's doubles Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti and the men's doubles Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Rambitan, also failed to advance to the top four.

Apri/Fadia ran aground after losing to representatives of Korea, Lee So Hee/Shin Seung Chan. Meanwhile, Pramudya/Jeremiah ran aground after losing dramatically to Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik.
