JAKARTA Indonesia can only secure three tickets to the quarter-finals of the Denmark Open 2025 from seven representatives who competed in the second round of the tournament.

The Super 750 BWF level event completed a series of matches in the second round at Jyske Bank Arena on Thursday, October 16, 2025, WIB night. The remaining three Indonesian representatives are in the singles and doubles sectors.

The only men's singles left in the tournament was Jonatan Christie. The sixth seed repatriated Kodai Naraoka from Japan with a final score of 21-7 and 21-13.

"Today what has been planned, discussed with the coach, can run well on the field. Kodai who tries to change the pattern of the game I can adjust it," said Jonathan after the match.

Jonathan will next meet fourth seed Li Shi Feng. The men's singles belonging to China got tickets for the last eight after winning against China Taipei's singles, Lee Chia Hao.

The other two Indonesian representatives who survived were the men's doubles Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri and the new pair Muhammad Rian Ardianto/Ramhat Hidayat.

The seventh seed Fajar/Fikri got tickets after overcoming deputy hosts Daniel Lundgaard/Mads Vestergaard in a fierce three-game match 21-16, 18-21, and 21-18.

In the quarter-finals, the pair of champions of the 2025 China Open will be tested by England's men's doubles, Ben Lane/Sean Vendy. The pair won over Liu Kuang Heng/Yang Po Han (China Taipei) in the second half.

"We'll meet Lane/Vendy later, of course we have to be more vigilant because they are in the best condition after winning the 2025 Arctic Open last week," said Fajar.

Meanwhile, Rian/Ramhat, who had just made their debut as a couple, managed to advance to the quarter-finals by defeating Takumi Nomura/Yuichi Shimogami (Japan) 21-15, 16-21, and 21-17.

Rian/Rahmat will face a tough test in the last eight because they met sixth seed and former world number one from India, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty.
