JAKARTA - Indonesia did not send their representatives in the semifinals of the Korea Masters 2022. The only representatives remaining in the last eight, Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, stopped in their tracks.
Competing at Gwangju Yeonju Stadium, Bagas/Fikri lost dramatically to the Japanese pair, Hiroki Okamura/Masayuki Onodera. They surrendered with a score of 23-25, 21-19, 20-22 in one hour 18 minutes.
"The reason for the defeat was maybe we didn't maintain our focus and we weren't calm on the field. Our energy has also been drained quite a lot," said Fikri, as quoted by Antara, Saturday, April 16.
According to Fikri, they had fought hard and tried to survive until the end, but they still couldn't face defeat even though they had endured a very tiring and very long match.
Their focus and energy was very drained, especially the day before in the round of 16, Bagas/Fikri also had a long 67-minute match against Ren Xiang/Tan Qiang from China.
Likewise with Bagas, who considers the first meeting with Okamura/Onodera to be very tough and he admits that he has given his best.
Even so, he was personally grateful for the results of yesterday's match.
"The match was a tough opponent and we have also tried. Stay grateful for this result," continued Bagas.
Furthermore, Bagas/Fikri revealed that they are quite satisfied with their performances in the four consecutive tournaments they have participated in so far.
"Alhamdulillah, we are quite satisfied with the results of these four tournaments. Hopefully we can do better in the future," said Bagas.
"The results in these four tournaments are quite good, not too disappointing," Fikri added.
From Korea, Bagas/Fikri will compete in the Asian Championships from April 26 to May 1 in Manila, Philippines. As preparation, the winner of the All England 2022 will focus on restoring stamina.
"Now we are trying to return the condition of the body so that it can be fit again," concluded Bagas.
