JAKARTA The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) targets Indonesian representatives to receive three titles at the Indonesia Masters 2025.

The Super 500 BWF level tournament is scheduled to take place from January 21, 2025 to January 26, 2025 at Istora Senayan, Jakarta.

Head of PBSI's Development and Achievement Division, Ricky Subagja, said that Indonesia's hope for a title was on the shoulders of the men's doubles, women's singles, and men's singles sectors.

"Systically, three titles can be won. This should be achieved. As hosts we have to be better than the previous year," said Ricky in Jakarta on Tuesday, November 26, 2024.

In this year's edition, Indonesia was recorded to have only received one title through the men's doubles pair Leo Rolly Carnando / Daniel Marthin.

The pair defended their title after defeating the Danish pair in the final, Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen.

Ricky explained that the target had been calculated carefully by his party in the middle of the schedule at the beginning of next year. The reason is, the Indonesia Masters will be held after the Malaysia Open and the 2025 India Open.

"From the start we have included names. So, there are two participating events, some are participating in one event so that it is hoped that the Indonesia Masters will peak," said Ricky.

In the history of the Indonesia Masters, the women's singles is still the only sector that has dragged the title. Since starting in 2010, this number has only won once.

The only title was obtained by Adriyanti Firdasari in the 2014 edition, which at that time was still known as the Indonesian Masters Grand Prix Gold. At that time, this event was held at Jakabaring Sport City, Palembang.

So far, the men's doubles is still the most successful sector in this event with a total of 12 titles. Men's singles followed with eight titles, six mixed doubles, and two titles for women's doubles.
