JAKARTA - The achievements of Indonesian badminton players in the latest events that are being followed are decreasing. At the Singapore Open, only Anthony Sinisuka Ginting was able to reach the semifinal phase.

However, Indonesian badminton legend Rudy Hartono predicts that the two sectors of the host athlete will be able to penetrate the final of the Indonesia Open 2023. However, Rudy who is included in the Hall of Fame BWF predicts that there are two sectors that have a great chance of reaching the top party. "Men's doubles, and still in mixed doubles. Now, the real probability is there," said Rudy after attending the HSBC Meet and Greet with Badminton Legends event, in Jakarta, Saturday afternoon.

In total, the men's doubles are indeed the sector most followed by Indonesian athletes. In total there are six pairs from Indonesia in the men's doubles number, namely Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian, Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan. Leo Rolly/Daniel Marthin, Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, Kevin Sanjaya/Marcus Gideon, and Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Yacob. As for mixed doubles, there are five pairs representing Indonesia. They are representing Indonesia. They are Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva, Rehan Naufal/Lisa Ayu, Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas, Dejan Febriansyah/Gloria Emmanuel Emmanuele, and Zakyahno/Hediana Julimarbela. When asked about the Indonesian men's single power, the owner of the seven All-England consecutive championship titles said the situation is still uncertain. "Yes, the men's singles are still 50:50. We also hope this can happen," said Rudy, quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, June 10.

The 73-year-old man also said that the current balanced strength of badminton was because the sport has become increasingly in demand by many people around the world. "Yes, this shows that badminton has started to have a lot of interest. So from countries that were previously unable to enter the final, then entered the final. This means that sports are quite well known in the community, especially badminton is known in Asia," he concluded.
