JAKARTA - The Indonesian badminton team failed to bring home the Suhandinata Cup. The Red and White squad's steps had to stop in the semifinals.
Indonesia failed to defend its title after losing 2-3 to Taiwan in the last four of the 2022 Junior Team Badminton World Championships at Palacio de Deportes de Santander, Santander, Saturday, October 22 in the morning WIB.
Indonesia immediately fell behind 0-2 following the defeat of mixed doubles Zaidan Arrafi Nabawi/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu and men's singles Muhammad Reza Al Fajri.
Garuda Muda returned in the third party thanks to the women's singles victory Mutiara Ayu Puspitasari. Indonesia equalized to 2-2 after Muh Putra Erwitiansyah/Muhammad Rayhan Nur Fadillah who took part in the fourth party successfully defeated Huang Jui-Hsuan/Tsai Fu Cheng in two straight games 21-14, 21-13.
Unfortunately, in the deciding party, Rachel Alllessya Rose/Meilysa Trias Puspitasari's women's doubles failed to do their job to get points.
Rachel/Trias must recognize the superiority of Nicole Gonzales Chan/Yang Chu Yun through the rubber game 21-13, 16-21, 13-21.
Women's doubles coach Enroe Suryanto revealed that the strain factor made Rachel/Trias unable to bring out her best abilities.
"In the first game, Rachel/Trias actually played well and really played. Both patternly and mentally," said Enroe.
"In the second game, the opponent changed the pattern and they were not prepared for the change," Enroe said in a written statement from PBSI.
"In the third game, the opponent is getting more confident and the game meeting is getting more confident, while Rachel/Trias cannot get out of the pressure. Playing is too hasty," said Enroe.
