JAKARTA - Indonesian men's doubles, Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto, failed to penetrate the 2023 Japan Open final. They must recognize the superiority of Taiwanese pair Lee Yang/Wang Chi Lin, Saturday, July 29.
Fajar/Rian lost two straight games 19-21, 10-21.
The world number one men's doubles does not want to be dissolved in disappointment with this failure. They will focus on improving performance in order to win tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"Everyone will definitely want to appear at the Olympics next year. This is what we must be aware of and learn from all opponents," Fajar said in an official statement released by PBSI.
Fajar/Rian then agreed that Lee/Wang's performance would be more mature. They said that Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medalists had better readiness.
"Lee Yang/Wang Chi-Lin are not new players, they are Olympic gold medalists. In terms of achievements and games, there must be ups and downs and now they are starting to rise again and that's normal," Fajar said, as reported by Antara.

Furthermore, Fajar/Rian said, the Taiwanese couple continued to provide pressure and attacks that they could not anticipate properly.
"The opponent continues to pressure us and we cannot get out of that pressure. We have tried several ways from drive to defense but they can still anticipate. Very aggressive," said Fajar.
"It's not the result we want, we admit Lee/Wang's game better today. They have incredible speed and power," added Rian.
Meanwhile, Fajar/Rian became one of three Indonesian representatives who successfully advanced to the semifinals of the tournament in the BWF Super 500 category. Two other Indonesian badminton players who will play are Jonatan Christie's men's singles and Gregoria Mariska Tunjung's women's singles.
Jonathan will face India's Lakshya Sen, while Gregoria will face China's women's singles He Bing Jiao.
