JAKARTA - Putri Kusuma Wardani has not been able to be stopped in the Australian Open 2025. She again won two straight sets to reach the quarter-finals.

Putri managed to keep a record that she had not lost a set in the tournament by stopping Wen Chi Hsu from China Taipei with a final score of 21-15 and 21-10 in Sydney on Thursday, November 20, 2025.

"Overall, happy to be able to issue a game that is what I want," said the badminton player who lost the Tangerang after the match.

Putri and Wen now share a 2-2 win-loss record. This is their second clash in the 2025 calendar after previously taking place at the Indonesia Masters at the beginning of the year, where Putri lost three games.

"Previously at the Indonesia Masters, I lost the rubber game against him. So, when I entered the field, I tried to be as relaxed as possible so that the game could calm down and didn't make many mistakes myself," said Putri.

In the quarter-finals, Friday, November 21, 2025, Putri will face Chen Su Yu, who is also from China Taipei. Chen qualified after stopping his compatriot Chiu Pin-Chian.

"I've never met him, so stay alert and try to learn his game," said Putri, who is the second seed in the BWF Super 500 level tournament.

The latest victory in Australia continues Putri's positive record. This 23-year-old badminton player previously entered the final at the Hylo Open 2025 at the beginning of last month, which ended in runners-up.
