JAKARTA The men's singles Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo successfully passed the first round of the Malaysia Open 2023 dramatically. He defeated Danish representatives Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus.

Playing at the Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur, Wednesday, January 11 at noon WIB, Chico was forced to undergo a tight match of up to three games. He managed to secure a second round ticket with a 21-11, 16-21, and 25-23 wins.

In the second round, Chico will face India's representative Prannoy H.S, who repatriated his seventh-seeded compatriot Lakshya Sen.

Chico is one of three Indonesian men's singles who are still holding out in this Super 1000 BWF tournament. He followed two seniors Jonatan Christie and Anthony Sinisuka Ginting who had qualified yesterday.

Meanwhile, one men's singles who had to go home early was Shesar Hiren Rhustavito. He failed to reach the second half after being stopped by eighth seed Thailand Kunlavut Vitidsarn.

Apart from Shesar, a second round ticket also failed to get a mixed doubles Zakelno Sumanti/Hediana Julimarbel. The pair surrendered in the hands of representatives of Japan, Yuki Kaneko/Misaki Matsutomo.

Not only Chico, but the second round ticket also got mixed doubles from Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati and Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri.

Rehan/Lisa escaped after expelling Malaysian representatives Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying after winning 18-21, 21-15, 21-7. Meanwhile Bagas/Fikri repatriated Thailand's Supak Jomkoh/Kittinupong Kedren with a score of 16-21, 21-16, 21-19.

After this, there are still two tickets that Indonesia can add through the men's doubles number if Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin and Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo can win over their opponents.

The two pairs had not yet fought when this news was published.
