JAKARTA Mixed doubles Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu qualified for the second round of the Singapore Open 2025, marking their sweet debut at the BWF Super 750 level event.
They got tickets thanks to the victory of two straight games 21-16 and 21-12 against the Ming Che Lu/Hung En-Tzu pair from China Taipei on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
"Praise God for debuting today at the Super 750 level and winning the match," Felisha said in a statement received by the media.
This is Jafar/Felisha's second win over the couple after previously taking place at the Indonesia Masters 2025 in January 2025. At that time, the appearance at home was also Jafar/Felisha's debut at the Super 500 BWF level.

Their clashes at that time also occurred in the first round of the tournament. Jafar/Felisha appeared tight, but finally managed to secure a ticket to the second half in a two-game straight game.
"At that time the pressure was different because playing at Istora, the nervousness was also felt. So, the score was quite tight."
"Today at the second meeting, we already know better how to overcome their resistance," said Felishha.
Apart from Jafar/Felisha, Indonesia also sent mixed doubles Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja and Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari to the Singapore Open 2025.
The two pairs will fight this afternoon. Rehan/Gloria will face host representative Hee Yong Kai Terry/Jin Yu Jia, while Rinov/Pitha fight against Scotland's Alexander Dunn/Julie Macpherson.
Jafar/Felisha are the second representatives of Indonesia to qualify for the second round of the tournament. Previously, on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto had obtained the first ticket.
