JAKARTA - Indonesian mixed doubles pair, Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja, reached the semifinals of the China Open 2024.

They passed the quarter-finals after stopping the Malaysian pair, Hoo Pang Ron/Cheng Su Yin, two straight games 21-14 and 21-9 on Friday, September 20, 2024, morning WIB.

"Alhamdulillah and thank you to all who have always supported us. This year is not easy for us, many struggles have also returned to the semifinals. Super 1000 is a very good achievement," said Dejan.

This is Dejan/Gloria's first semifinal since they won the International India Syed Modi in December 2023. Their furthest step in 19 tournaments after that was the quarter-finals.

As for the Super 1000 level, this is their first semifinal since Malaysia Open 2023. At that time, they failed to reach the final after being beaten by the Chinese pair, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong.

"Today we are quite satisfied, the best during this year to the semifinals of the China Open 2024, but we definitely want more. Tomorrow we will fight as much as possible," said Dejan.

Dejan/Gloria are the first representatives of Indonesia to reach the semifinals of this tournament. There are still four other representatives who will fight after them.

The four representatives are the men's singles Jonatan Christie and Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and the men's doubles Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Daniel Marthin.
