JAKARTA - Putri Kusuma Wardani escaped from the first round of the 2024 Malaysia Masters and received a tough fourth seed opponent, Ratchanok Intanon, in the second half.
The 21-year-old badminton player got a second round ticket after winning over China Taipei's singles, Lin Hsiang Ti, two straight games 21-9 and 21-19 on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, afternoon WIB.
"I am happy to be able to advance to the second half. Previously, I had seen the recording of the opponent's video. From there I already had an idea of what to deal with it," said Putri after the match.
Putri actually got fierce resistance in the second game after she won so easily in the first game.

The mistakes made him trailed by six points 10-16.
"I then apply an important pattern for the ball to enter first. This makes the opponent play in a hurry and make a lot of mistakes himself," said Putri.
Intanon, who will be Putri's opponent, qualified for the second round after stopping Myanmar's representative, Thet Htar Thuzar.
On paper, Putri and Intanon have never met before. Intanon, who is present as the seed, will certainly be seeded in this duel.
"Tomorrow against Ratchanok, I just want to enjoy the game. Understandably, from everything, I lost far. I just want to play well," said Putri.
