Fajar/Fikri were paired by PBSI for three Asian tours this month. Both of them are united because their respective partners have problems.
Daniel Marthin, who is Fikri's partner, was sidelined because he was still injured. Meanwhile, Muhammad Rian Ardianto, Fajar's partner, took a break for family affairs.
Fajar/Fikri are one of two Indonesian representatives who broke into the semifinals in China. They extended their journey with Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu.
Jafar/Felisha are also in the middle of their best performance. They are the fourth big after overthrowing the third seed, Tang Chun Man/Tse Ying Suet of Hong Kong.
