Jafar/Felisha in the semifinals will face a very tough opponent. The reason is, they met the host's mixed doubles, namely the Dechapol Puavaranukroh/Supissara Paewsampran pair.
The second seeded pair reached the semifinals at home after defeating Malaysian representatives, Hoo Pang Ron/Cheng Su Yin with a final score of 21-12 and 21-15.
"We have to anticipate the speed of the Thai pair tomorrow (13 December 2025). Also pay attention to their habits. The host's support must also be crowded, especially since this is the SEA Games," said Felishha.
On paper, Jafar/Felisha have never won once in their two previous competitive clashes, in a row at Thailand Open 2025 and the French Open 2025.
Jafar said that fighting the host would certainly be a tough challenge for them. However, they are used to being depressed when playing at the opponent's headquarters.
"The support of the host supporters is definitely high, but we have also experienced, for example, the semifinals of the China Open. It's really crowded so we already know how it feels," he said.
In addition, tickets for the semifinals were also obtained by women's doubles duo Rachel Alllessya Rose/Febi Setianingrum and Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Meilysa Trias Puspitasari.
In the semifinals later, Rachel/Febi will face a tough opponent in the semifinals on Saturday, December 13, 2025. The reason is, they will clash with the first seed from Malaysia, Pearly Tan/Thinaah Muralitharan.
