Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri stopped at the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Open 2024 (doc. PBSI).

JAKARTA - Bagas Maulana/Muhammad men's doubles pair Shohibul Fikri failed to reach the semifinals of the Indonesia Open 2024.

They lost dramatically with scores 16-21, 21-15, and 21-23 against the Danish pair, Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen, at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, Friday, June 7, 2024, evening WIB.

This defeat left Indonesia with only one representative in the semifinals, namely the Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani pair.

The results obtained by Bagas/Fikri also ensured that representatives from the PBSI Cipayung National Training Center all died. The reason is, Sabar/Reza are not Pelatnas athletes.

Indonesia actually has four representatives who have penetrated the quarter-finals of this Super 1000 BWF tournament.

Apart from Bagas/Fikri, two other representatives who also fell were the women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung and the mixed doubles Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.

Gregoria's failure also ensured that Indonesian representatives, who had already received tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics, all died from the tournament.

Patience/Reza who qualify next will face the Malaysian pair, Man Wei Chong/Kai Wun Tee, who stepped into the semifinals after beating China's Taipei representative, Lu Ching Yao/Yang Po Han.
