Alwi, who was once a world champion at the junior level in the 2033 edition, was previously at the top of the reserve or reserve player list.
At first, the 20-year-old badminton player had eight detective status, but it was confirmed that five reservers who were ranked above Alwi had passed.
Meanwhile, Lei Lan Xi (China) and Chi Yu Jen (China Taipei) can only replace their compatriots because their country has reached the maximum quota.
Thus, Axelsen's decision to withdraw automatically made Alwi immediately enter the main draw. This is the appearance of the badminton player's debut from Surakarta at the World Championships.
"Even though it's hard to miss such an event, I'm not broken. On the other hand, it's more motivated to continue rehabilitation and set new goals and come back stronger," said Axelsen.
