JAKARTA - Indonesia has again sent representatives to appear at the 2023 Badminton World Championships which will start rolling Monday, August 21. Having held it in the previous edition, this year there is a big target set for 14 representatives to appear.

For this year, Indonesia is on a mission to win the world title. This is in line with what was conveyed by the Head of Binpres, Central Board of the Indonesian Badminton Association (PP PBSI), Rionny Mainaky. He said that the target at this World Championship is two titles.

With this target, PBSI must make maximum efforts, one of which is by sending representatives of quality athletes. Of the 14 names dispatched to Copenhagen, Denmark Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto became Indonesia's representative with the highest position as the first seed in the men's doubles number.

With this status, Fajar/Rian has the right to get a chance in the first half. However, the struggle was not immediately easy.

Because in the round of 16 they have the potential to face Kang Min-hyuk/Seo Seung-jae.

Apart from Fajar/Rian, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung in the women's singles sector also got a chance in the first round. The eighth seed will face Yeo Jia-min in the second round.

One easy step is also in the hands of Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva, the women's doubles with 11th seed status also got a chance in the first round. But they are on the same track as Baek Ha-na/Lee So-hee who became the second seed in this tournament, where this has the potential to bring them together in the last 16 if they both win in the second round of matches.

In the mixed doubles number, Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati became the 13th seed. Rehan/Lisa are in the same block as the second seed Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino. Both could clash in the round of 16.

Jonatan Christie in the men's singles event even had to face a steep path at the start of the match by meeting Malaysia's mainstay, Lee Zii Jia. Jonathan vs Lee Zii Jia's tight duel occurred because Lee Zii Jia was not on the list of seeds at the 2023 World Championships after his performance decreased in recent times.
