JAKARTA Indonesia certainly has no representatives in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2023 after the last representative Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto lost.

The world number one pair had to lift their suitcases following the previous three Indonesian representatives after losing rubber games 16-21, 21-15, and 14-21 to the Korean pair Kang Min Hyuk/Seo Seung Jae at the Quay Center, Friday, August 4 evening.

This defeat made Kang/Seo equalize their winning record to Fajar/Rian. A total of six meetings between the two pairs, they both shared three wins and three defeats.

Previously, Indonesia had first lost representatives in the mixed doubles number Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari. The pair stopped after being beaten by Chinese representative Cheng Xing/Chen Fang Hui.

After that, it was the turn of Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Rambitan's men's doubles which ran aground. Their steps stopped after being confronted by the third seed tournament from Japan, Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi.

"From the quality of the game, we did lose. Today it belongs to the Japanese pair. The game we are developing is not working at all. We continue to be pressured," said Pramudya.

The same fate was experienced by the men's singles Anthony Sinisuka Ginting. The owner of the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics was stopped by India's representative, Prannoy HS in a dramatic three-game match.

"I have implemented various ways and strategies on the ground. Earlier in the match, my opponent and I complained everything on the field. Yes, technical, physical, and game strategy," Ginting said after the match.
