JAKARTA Indonesian representatives are confirmed to have run out at the 2024 India Open following the defeat of the men's doubles pair Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto.

Fajar/Rian died in the quarter-finals after losing two straight games 14-21 and 18-21 against South Korean representatives, Kang Min-hyuk/Seo Seung-jae, Friday, January 19, 2024, WIB night.

Before Fajar/Rian, Indonesia's representative from the men's singles, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, had already fallen in the hands of Hong Kong representative Lee Cheuk Yiu.

The defeat of these two representatives makes Indonesia no longer have hope in this Super 750 BWF level event. In fact, a total of nine representatives were deployed.

This result is the second bad record in a row for Indonesia. Previously at the Malaysia Open 2024 last week, Indonesia also did not have a representative in the semifinals.

Fajar/Rian and their friends will next appear at the Indonesia Masters 2024. The Super 500 BWF event will be held on 23-28 January 2024 at Istora Jakarta.

At that event, Indonesia might send more representatives. Representatives who were previously out of shape, such as Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti and Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan, are likely to be able to play.
