JAKARTA - Putri Kusuma Wardani secured a ticket to the quarter-finals of the Malaysia Open 2025 and will meet the Thai women's singles, Ratchanok Intanon.
The 22-year-old badminton player went through the second half by defeating Julie Dawall Jakobsen from Denmark in two straight games 21-16 and 21-12 on Thursday, January 9, 2025, afternoon WIB.
"Tomorrow against Ratchanok Intanon, hopefully I can play without a burden and get the best results," said Putri in a statement received from PBSI Public Relations.
This is the second competitive clash between Putri and Intanon. Earlier last year, they met at the Axiata Arena as well as in the second round of the Malaysia Masters.
