JAKARTA – The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) is targeting Indonesian representatives to win three titles at the 2025 Indonesia Masters.
The BWF Super 500 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 hopes of winning the title are on the shoulders of the men's doubles, women's singles, and men's singles sectors.
"Realistically, we can win three titles. This should be achievable. As hosts, we must be better than the previous year," said Ricky in Jakarta on Tuesday, November 26, 2024.
In this year's edition, Indonesia was recorded as only winning one title through the men's doubles pair Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin.
The pair defended their title after defeating the Danish pair, Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen in the final.
Ricky explained that the target had been carefully calculated 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 India Open 2025.
"From the beginning we have entered the names. So, some will participate in two events, some will participate in one event so that it is hoped that the Indonesia Masters will be the peak," said Ricky.
In the history of the Indonesia Masters, women's singles is still the only sector that has not won a title. Since it started in 2010, this number has only won once.
The only title was won 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, men's doubles is still the most successful sector in this event with a total of 12 titles. Men's singles trail with eight titles, mixed doubles six titles, and women's doubles two titles.
