JAKARTA – Indonesia is certain to have only two representatives remaining in the quarter-finals of the 2023 China Masters.

Fajar/Rian as the fourth seed lost against the home pair, Chen Bo Yang/Liu Yi, in two straight games 11-21 and 16-21.

“The results did not meet expectations. We played very badly and the opponent performed very well. They have strong power. "Young players who have speed and are fast," said Fajar.

Fajar was not fully recovered when he played this match. However, he said that this condition could not be used as an excuse for their defeat.

“This injury is actually very disturbing. I can't play more freely, especially taking the top ball. I couldn't make a smash and just put the ball down. "I couldn't stay longer in the back game," he said.

Indonesia now only has to rely on two men's doubles. The two men's doubles are Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin and Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Rambitan.
