The semifinals in two consecutive tournaments are an extraordinary achievement for the two pairs. The reason is, they appeared in these two events with new compositions.
In the previous formation, Bagas was paired with Fikri and Leo partnered with Daniel. However, the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) then decided to make a refresher.
The reshuffle of this formation was carried out in the hope that the achievements of the two pairs could increase. Now the title targets that are dream of are approaching reality.
In this Super 500 BWF event, Indonesia had a total of six representatives, but four others had picked up the suitcase early. Three of them returned home in the first half and the remaining one in the second half.
The representatives who stopped in the first half were Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo, Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo, and Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widaja. Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati stopped in the second half.
