JAKARTA - Mixed doubles, Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja, will appear at the 2023 German Open which starts on Tuesday, March 7. Dejan/Gloria were the only Indonesian representatives to appear in the round of 32.
Dejan/Gloria will meet the third seed from Malaysia, Tan Kian Meng/Lai Pei Jing. These two doubles will appear in the seventh match at field 2 Westenergie Sporthalle, Mulheim, Germany.
Meeting with Tan/Pei is not the first. Because previously Dejan/Gloria had met in the top 32 of the India Open 2023. At that time, Dejan/Gloria won over the world's sixth ranked pair.
The winner of this fight will face the winner of the Lee Chun Hei Reginald/Ng Tsz Yau vs Ty Alexander Lindeman/Josephine Wu match in the round of 16.
In this Super 300 tournament, Indonesia only sent two representatives from the mixed doubles sector. Apart from Dejan/Gloria, there will also be Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti.
However, the second pair that won the 2020 All England will only play on Wednesday 8 March. Praveen/Melati will face doubles that have passed the qualifying round.
Dejan/Gloria and Praveen/Melati will be Indonesia's mainstays in the 2023 German Open tournament. This is because the other names of athletes are deliberately absent in preparation for the All England which will be held next March 14-19.
Schedule of Indonesian Representatives in the Top 32 of the German Open 2023, Tuesday, March 7:
Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja vs Tan Kian Meng/Lai Pei Jing (Malaysia)
