JAKARTA - Alwi Farhan led the Indonesian men's singles to secure three tickets to the 2026 Thailand Masters quarterfinal along with Mohammad Zaki Ubaidillah and Prahdiska Bagas Shujiwo.
The 2023 junior world champion secured the eight-person ticket after stopping the Israeli shuttler, Daniil Dubovenko, in two straight games 21-14 and 21-10 at the Nimibutr Stadium, Bangkok, on Thursday, January 29, 2026.
Alwi will then face a tough test in the next match which will take place on Friday, January 30, 2026. This is because he will meet Lee Zii Jia from Malaysia, who is not even a favorite, but very dangerous.
Meanwhile, Zaki Ubaidillah got a ticket to the quarter-finals after stopping the fifth seed Arnaud Merkle from France with a final score of 21-13 and 21-19.
The badminton player from Sampang, Madura, will also face a tough test in the last eight as he meets fourth seed Brian Yang (Canada), who eliminated Wang Po-Wei from China Taipei in a three-game match.
If they both manage to overcome their opponents, Alwi and Ubaidillah will definitely meet in the semifinals. However, on paper, the two will definitely have a dramatic match.
Prahdiska followed her two teammates after defeating the seventh-seeded Kiran George from India. She locked in the victory in a straight two-game match that ended with a score of 21-16 and 21-11.
Furthermore, Prahdiska will meet with the representative of the host, Panitchaphon Teeraratsakul, who defended his dream by defeating the third seed from Singapore, Jia Heng Jason Teh.
Indonesian men's singles actually have four representatives in this BWF Super 300 event. Another name is Muhamad Yusuf, whose journey was immediately blocked in the first round by Panitchaphon Teeraratsakul.
