JAKARTA Four Indonesian representatives managed to secure tickets to the second round of the India Open 2025 after Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto also qualified.

Fajar/Rian came from behind to beat Malaysia's representatives, Lim Tze Jian/Wong Tien Ci, with a score of 19-21, 21-10, and 21-14 on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, WIB night.

This is Fajar/Rian's first victory after previously at the Malaysia Open 2025 last week the 2024 All England champion pair were immediately eliminated in the first round.

Three tickets before Fajar/Rian were secured by Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, Dejan Ferdinansyah/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, and Jonatan Christie.

Gregoria became the first representative of Indonesia to qualify. The owner of the bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics defeated Danish women's arrears, Line Christophersen, on Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

Dejan/Fadia then followed. The debut pair also won over Danish representatives, namely Mads Vestergaard/Christine Busch.

Jonathan then secured the third ticket for Indonesia. The second seed passed thanks to defeating the single Chinese Taipei, Wang Tzu Wei.

Indonesia has deployed a total of five representatives in this Super 750 BWF event. The only representatives who came home early were the pair Rinov Rivaldy/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati.

The second half of this tournament will take place on Thursday, January 16, 2025. The series of matches will start at 10.30 Indian time or 12.00 western Indonesia time.
