BWF World Tour Finals History: Indonesia Only Has One Title

Women's singles badminton player Gregoria Mariska Tunjung will be the focus of the 2023 BWF World Tour Finals (doc. PBSI).

JAKARTA Indonesia has so far only collected one title at the BWF World Tour Finals, an event that rolls out every end of the year as the closure of a series of one-season tours.

This year's edition of the championship will take place from 13-17 December 2023 at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo Center, Hangzhou, China.

This is the sixth edition since rolling in 2018 replacing its predecessor Super Series Finals. Unfortunately, in the previous five editions, Indonesia was recorded as very poor in title.

The only Red-White representatives who have climbed the podium to win this event are the veteran men's doubles pair, Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan.

Hendra/Ahsan won the title in the 2019 edition in Hangzhou. They took home the gold medal after defeating the Japanese pair, Hiroyuki Endo/Yuta Watanabe, straight set.

It was one of the best years for a double nicknamed The Daddies. The title from the World Tour Finals complements their achievements from the World Championships and All England.

This year, the Indonesian men's doubles number will send two pairs. Both are Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto and Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri.

The men's doubles duo will be accompanied by Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Jonatan Christie, and Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti.

Of the six representatives, PBSI targets to win three titles. Men's singles and men's doubles are sectors that are expected.
