Hangzhou –
Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto failed to continue step in Asian Games 2023. They were stopped by Lee Yang/Wang Chi Lin in straight games in the quarterfinals.
Fajar/Rian faced the Taiwanese doubles at Binjian Gymnasiun, Hangzhou, Thursday (5/10/2023) morning WIB. The Indonesian doubles, ranked number one in the world, lost 19-21 and 18-21.
Lee/Wang appeared aggressive from the start of the first game and pushed Fajar/Rian. They continued to lead until the interval, when Fajar/Rian managed to take the lead 13-12.
The points tally continues to be tight. However, the composure of Lee/Wang, the 2020 Olympic champions, ensured they were ahead at critical points and took the first game 21-19.
It was also about calm that seemed to make it difficult for Fajar/Rian to overcome Lee/Wang. They made a number of mistakes, including inaccurate and responsible returns.
Fajar/Rian had difficulty getting out of the pressure, until finally they had to give up 18-21. This means that Indonesia only has to pin its hopes on two numbers, namely men’s singles and women’s singles.
Anthony Ginting and Gregoria Mariska Tunjung will still appear this afternoon.
