JAKARTA The bad record for the mixed doubles Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati against the world number one pair from China, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong, continues.
Rehan/Lisa never won against the pair again when they met again in the first round of the Indonesia Open 2024 at the Istora Stadium, Jakarta, Wednesday, June 5, 2024, afternoon WIB.
Rehan/Lisa actually won the first game in the meeting, but in the next two games they were sluggish. The match finally closed with a score of 23-21, 15-21, and 13-21.
"The opponent is actually uncomfortable playing in the first game. They are out of pressure by being able to change the pattern of the discomfort," said Rehan.
