JAKARTA The steps of the mixed doubles pair Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari immediately stopped at the first round of the 2024 India Open.

Rinov/Pitha are confirmed to have died after losing their rubber games 21-14, 11-21, and 11-21 against the Malaysian pair, Chen Tang Jie/Toh Ee Wei, on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, noon WIB.

In the first game, Rinov / Pitha came from behind to secure victory. However, in the next two games they fell after beating their opponents.

"We can take the first game, but we can't maintain momentum in the second and third games. We are under pressure with their changing game patterns," Pitha said after the match.

This is Rinov/Pitha's first defeat against Chen/Toh. Previously, at three meetings last year, Rinov/Pitha always came out victorious, namely the Malaysia Masters, Australian Open, and China Masters.

"They certainly learned from our previous meeting," Pitha said.

Rinov/Pitha are the third representatives of Indonesia who were eliminated from the Super 750 BWF level event. Previously, on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, two representatives who had already been confirmed to return were the men's doubles Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin and Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.

The part of the death of Rinov/Pitha made a mixed doubles, now we just have to hope that Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati will fight for the second round tonight.
