Singapore Open 2022: Chico Runs Out Of Power In The Early Rounds, Hafiz/Selena Expel Compatriots

JAKARTA - Indonesian mixed doubles Hafiz Faisal/Serena Kani will advance to the last 16 of the Singapore Open 2022, Wednesday, July 13. They won the match against another Indonesian representative, Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati.

Appearing at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, Hafiz/Serena had to go through an uphill battle to secure a ticket to the next round. They had to go through a rubber game before winning 21-10, 14-21 and 21-19. Hafiz/Serena became the first Indonesian representatives to win on the second day of the Singapore Open 2022. Meanwhile, the two Indonesian representatives who appeared first, had to lose.

One of them is Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo. The Malaysia Masters 2022 champion surprisingly lost in the early rounds.

Even more surprising, he who performed extraordinarily at the 2022 Malaysia Masters, lost to Canadian badminton, Brian Yang. Two straight games anyway.

Chico seemed to run out of gas in this fight. The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) men's single was made helpless by Brian. He finally gave up with a score of 12-21 and 17-21.

Meanwhile, the Zachariah Josiahno/Hediana Julimarbela pair were unable to create a surprise when they met the representatives of Thailand, Supak Jomkoh/Sipissara Paewsampran. Having put up a fight, they finally lost the rubber games 24-22, 15-21, and 18-21.
