JAKARTA - Men's doubles pair Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan qualified for the second round of the Thailand Open 2024.

The fifth seed of the tournament kept his dream in this event by defeating the Chinese Taipei pair, Wei Chun Wei/Wu Guan Xun, two straight games with a score of 21-17 and 21-15 at Nimibutr Stadium, Bangkok, Wednesday, May 15, 2024, WIB night.

"This is not an easy match. Moreover, this is also the first meeting and the opponent also has a strong and powerful blow," said Hendra after the match.

This is the first half for Hendra / Ahsan since they last reached the same round at the Malaysia Open 2024 in January 2024.

In two consecutive tournaments after the Malaysia Open 2024, the pair nicknamed The Daddies always returned early in the first half.

The two tournaments in question were the French Open 2024 and All England 2024 in March.

While playing in Paris, Hendra/Ahsan immediately lost to the host pair, Lucas Corvee/Ronan Labar. While playing in England, both were stopped by former world number one, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty.

"We are grateful that we won because it feels like we haven't won for a long time. The match was also not easy. The opponent has strong power and the shuttlecock is also slow. So we have to play patiently," said Ahsan.

In the second round, Hendra/Ahsan will meet another Chinese pair Taipei,maloni Chien-Wei/Wu Hsuan-Yi. This double is past the first round thanks to a dramatic three-game victory over Malaysia's representative, Low Hang Yee/Ng Eng Cheong.

Hendra/Ahsan are the second representatives of the men's doubles to qualify for the second round.

Before them, the first ticket for Indonesia from this number was secured by the pair Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri who won over Boon Xin Yuan/Goh V Shem.

The men's doubles number actually sent four representatives to this Super 500 BWF tournament. However, the other two had to lift the suitcase early.

The two couples are Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin and Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.

The dream of Sabar/Reza was buried by the pair Ming Che Lu/Tang Kai Wei from China Taipei. Meanwhile, Leo/Daniel's steps were stopped by the South Korean pair, Jin Yong/Na Sung Seung.
