JAKARTA - Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja qualified for the second round of the Denmark Open 2023 after playing dramatically for three games. They got up from the defeat of the first game to beat German pair Mark Lamsfuss/Isabel Lohau with a score of 13-21, 21-15, and 21-15 at Jyske Bank Arena, Wednesday, October 18.

"In the first game, the opponent's pattern is more in, more prepared than us. They played concurrently before so they already knew the condition of the field. Meanwhile, we were a bit surprised because it was a bit different from during training two days ago," said Dejan.

"Alhamdulillah, we can win but in appearance we are not satisfied. We have not found the right rhythm from the start, hopefully tomorrow we can be maximized," he added.

Meanwhile, Gloria said, not being able to control the front game was one of the reasons they had to lose the first game.

"That's what was fixed in the second and third games. How can I hold the front game, complain with my bag [Lohau]," he said.

In the second round later, Dejan/Gloria have a heavier task. The reason is, they will meet with the first seed, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong.

In another match before Dejan/Gloria, Indonesia lost another representative from the men's doubles, namely Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin.

Leo/Daniel were one of several representatives who died on the day. Several other representatives who took part in lifting the suitcase were Jonatan Christie, Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti, Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari, and Putri Kusuma Wardani.
