Jadi Runner Up Singapore Open, Fajar/Rian Siap Bangkit di Indonesia Open 2024
SEAToday.com, Singapura-Ganda putra Indonesia Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto harus mengakui keunggulan He Ji Ting/Ren Xiang Yu (China) 19-21, 14-21 di final Singapore Open 2024. Partai puncak tersebut berlangsung di Singapore Indoor Stadium, Minggu, 2 Juni 2024.
"Kami memang belum bisa juara tapi kami tetap bersyukur bisa melaju ke final Singapore Open ini. Lawan bermain luar biasa, kami tidak bisa mengimbangi speed dan power mereka. Sebagai pasangan baru mereka bermain percaya diri dan nothing to lose," kata Rian dalam keterangan resmi dikutip di laman PBSI.
Sementara itu, Fajar mengatakan bahwa servis lawan sangat baik dan sangat tipis yang membuat dirinya dan Rian kesulitan untuk membalikkannya. "Bisa tapi kadang-kadang tanggung," lanjutnya.
"Memang sangat disayangkan di gim pertama saat kami sudah mengejar tapi tidak bisa mendapatkan satu poin lagi untuk memaksakan setting. Pertahanan mereka cukup rapat, beberapa kali kami gagal menembus oleh serangan kami," ungkapnya.
Fajar menutup, "Kami menganggap Singapore Open dan Indonesia Open pekan depan sebagai ajang simulasi menuju Olimpiade. Walau begitu, kami tetap punya target. Semoga kami bisa menampilkan yang lebih baik di hadapan publik sendiri."
Indonesia Open 2024 akan digelar pada 4 Juni--9 Juni 2024 di Istora Senayan, Jakarta.
