JAKARTA - Indonesia's Thomas and Uber Cup team manager Eddy Prayitno said he was satisfied with the result of the Uber Cup team's 4-1 win over Germany, because according to calculations, Germany could be defeated because its ability was still below Indonesia.

He admits that on paper, Indonesia will lose by one point, but initially what was predicted to lose points was the opening match between Gregoria Mariska and Yvonne Li.

"Initially we predicted that Gregoria would be in trouble against Yvonne. This first match could be a stumbling block. It turns out that Gregoria can play confidently and perform well to secure points in the first match," said Eddy through a PP PBSI press release from Aarhus, Denmark, Saturday.

Meanwhile, for the other three parties that also contributed figures, Eddy said it was in line with the forecast. The Greysia/Apriyani couple played beautifully and steadily. Likewise, Rebekah/Fadia, who initially had a little problem with Fadia's shoulder, has now recovered.

While the second single appearance, Putri Kusuma Wardani is considered to have increased, especially in terms of confidence. "Putri Kusuma Wardani is getting more and more confident," said Eddy, quoted from ANTARA.

Regarding Ester's defeat in the last match, Eddy said that Ester's knee, which was slightly problematic, interfered with her performance in the third game. Although in general, Indonesia's third women's singles performance could be said to be much better than the Sudirman Cup contest in Finland.

"Ester's knee is not in the injury category, but it is a little problematic. It is uncomfortable when used to compete. She does need special therapist treatment so that she can recover to face the next match," said Eddy.
