JAKARTA - Three representatives from Indonesia confirmed tickets to the quarter-finals of the Korea Open 2022, Thursday 7 April. One of them is the men's singles, Shesar Hiren Rhustavito.

Shesar stepped into the last eight after defeating sixth seed from India, Lakshya Sen. This result is quite surprising considering Lakshya's performance recently stole the attention.

In the match for 33 minutes, there was a fierce battle in the first game. However, Shesar was able to close this game with a 22-20 victory.

In the second game, Lakshya seemed to run out of "gasoline". He was unable to deal with Shesar's extraordinary game. Evidently, this game was won by Indonesia alone with a score of 21-9.

Meanwhile, two Indonesian mixed doubles also qualified for the quarter-finals of the Korea Open 2022. They are Adnan Maulana/Mychelle Crhystine Bandaso and Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari.

Adnan/Mychelle defeated the host representative, Shin Tae Yang/Chang Ye Na through a three-game battle. Having trailed 12-21 in the first game, the seventh seed won the next two games with a score of 21-10 and 21-9

Meanwhile, Rinov/Pitha got rid of the other deputy hosts, Ki Dong Ju/Kim Hyerin. The match also took place in rubber sets with a score of 21-14, 19-21, and 26-24.
