JAKARTA – Mixed doubles coach Nova Widianto hopes that Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari and Adnan Maulana/Mychelle Crhystine Bandaso's team can perform better at All England after failing to reach the semifinals at the 2022 German Open.

"Hopefully they can do better in the All England and the next tournament," Nova hoped in an official statement received by VOI, Saturday, March 12.

The journey of Rinov/Pitha and Adnan/Mychelle German Open only reached the quarter-finals. The first two names were stopped by the fifth seed from England, Marcus Ellis/Lauren Smith in a fierce three-set match.

Meanwhile, Adnan/Mychelle lost to Adam Hall/Julie Macpherson of Scotland. Just like their compatriots, both of them also gave up after going through a tough three-set battle.

Nova said that the overall technical performance of the children was good. However, their focus in dealing with long rallies needs to be increased.

"Rinov/Pitha played well, they just couldn't stand their focus a little in the third set. In the final points, the variety of attacks was also reduced, there were a lot of smashes but the opponent didn't die because the ball was very heavy. In addition, often conceded points on serve and received service," he said.

"For Adnan/Mychelle, it's almost the same. They played a lot of long balls in the first game, didn't have the courage to play short lobs and fight forward. When playing rallies they also lacked resistance and looked down if the enemy was difficult to kill, they really wanted to die," he continued. .

The defeat of the two mixed doubles left Indonesia's representative in the German Open. Previously, the men's singles mainstay Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Jonatan Christie had fallen first.

The men's doubles pair Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto also could not go far in the BWF Super 300 level tournament.

After being eliminated from Germany, Indonesian representatives immediately prepared to appear at the All England. The world's oldest badminton championship is scheduled to take place from March 16 to 20 at Arena Birmingham, England.
