JAKARTA - Indonesia has nine representatives who will compete in the 2026 Malaysia Open badminton event next week. Here is their match schedule in the event.
The BWF Super 1000 level competition will take place on January 6-11, 2026 at the Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This event provides a total prize of 1.45 million US dollars or Rp. 24.2 billion.
From the men's singles sector, Indonesia sent Jonatan Christie and Alwi Farhan. Jonatan, who has the status of the fourth seed, will start his journey against Lee Chia Hao (Taiwan), while Alwi meets Alex Lanier (France).
From the women's singles sector, Indonesia's hopes are only on the shoulders of Putri Kusuma Wardani. Putri came down on her own in the competition after Gregoria Mariska Tunjung withdrew because she was still hampered by health problems.
Putri, who has the status of the sixth seed, will start her journey in the competition by facing Japanese women's singles, Manami Suizu. So far, Putri still leads the 1-0 win-loss record against Suizu.
Men's doubles is the sector with the most representatives in this tournament, namely three pairs. They are Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani, and Raymond Indra/Nikolaus Joaquin.
Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri as the sixth seed in this tournament will start the fight by fighting Fang Chih Lee/Fang Jen Lee, a pair from Taiwan. One of the other two pairs is sure to pick up the suitcase early because they meet directly.
From the women's doubles sector, Indonesia's only hope is on Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma/Meilysa Trias Puspitasari. The pair were tested by the Indian pair, Treesa Jolly/Gayatri Gopichand Pullela, in the first round.
Next in the mixed doubles, the young pair will showcase their quality. They consist of Marwan Faza/Aisyah Salsabila Putri Pranata and Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu.
