JAKARTA Indonesian women's doubles, Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Amalia Cahaya Pratiwi, managed to reach the quarter-finals of the 2023 Asian Badminton Championship (BAC).
Tiket mereka dapat setelah mengalahkan unggulan ketiga asal Korea Selatan, Kim So Yeong/Kong Hee Yong, dua gim langsung 21-16 dan 21-16 di Sheikh Rashid Bin Hamdan Indoor Hall, Dubai, Uni Emirati Arab, Kamis, 27 April 2023.
This victory also led Febriana/Amalia to avenge their defeat in their only previous meeting at the Denmark Open last year. At that time, Febriana/Amalia also gave up two straight games.
In the quarter-finals later, Febriana/Amalia will meet the winner of seventh seed Yuki Fukushima/Sayaka Hirota (Japan) against Lee Yu Lim/Shin Seung Chan (Korea).
In addition to the women's doubles above, tickets for the quarter-finals have also been obtained for mixed doubles Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari. The pair qualified after beating the Japanese representative, Hiroki Midorikawa/Natsu Saito.
Rinov/Pitha won through a three-game battle. Winning 21-12 in the first game, they then surrendered 16-21 in the second game. In the deciding game, the Indonesian doubles won 21-13.
There are still several Indonesian representatives who will fight for tickets for the quarter-finals after this. One of them is Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto.
In addition, the women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung has not yet competed. The 2017 junior world champion will meet fellow Indonesian representatives, namely Komang Ayu Cahya Dewi.
