JAKARTA - The Indonesian women's doubles, Greysia Polii/Apriyani Rahayu, were stopped by the Chinese pair Huang Dong Ping/Zheng Yu in the quarter-finals of the Denmark Open 2021 at Odense Sports Park, Denmark.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold winner was forced to give up three games 21-14, 10-21, 13-21 to Huang/Zheng, according to BWF records.

Greysia/Apriyani started the match well, which was made better by Huang/Zheng's frequent mistakes, thus benefiting the world number six women's doubles to win the first game.

However, entering the second game, it was the turn of the Chinese pair who were more pressing until Greysia/Apriyani trailed 1-5.

As reported by Antara, Friday, October 22, Huang/Zheng's continuous attacks kept them away 11-6 at the interval. After that, the Chinese representative became more and more unstoppable until he won the second game 21-10 and forced the rubber game.

Greysia/Apriyani fought back in the third game. After trailing 6-11, the fourth seed slowly began to thin the margin of points to 11-15, 13-17.

However, Greysia/Apriyani, who are unbeaten after winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics, were forced to give up 13-21 in the third game and failed to advance to the semifinals of the Super 1000 badminton tournament.

Mixed doubles Praveen/Melati became Indonesia's first representative to secure a place in the semifinals after defeating the Chinese pair Feng Yan Zhe/Du Yue.
