After that, they ran aground three times in the second half, once in the quarter-finals, and one semi-final obtained in the last tournament at the 2025 China Open last week.
"We will try to prepare everything as best we can (for the World Championships). Whatever the match, the opponent is the same, that's all. So, if we can improve, we can certainly do it," said Felisha.
Jafar/Felisha confirmed that they qualified after breaking into the world's top 24 ranking thanks to the bronze medal from the 2025 Asian Championships in April 2025.
In the current temporary list, Jafar/Felisha are one of two Indonesian mixed doubles that will play in the 2025 World Championships with Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Minister.
