Jakarta –
Uber Indonesia Team rely on three singles to gain points ahead of opponents Japan in the preliminary round of Group A. Olympic gold pair temporarily parked.
The match against Sakura Country will take place at Ceres Arena, Aarhus, Denmark, on Tuesday (12/10) at 13.30 local time. This round is to fight for the group winner position.
Indonesia had previously picked up two victories. The points were obtained each against Germany and France. Of the two teams, Indonesia both won 4-1.
While Japan also collected two wins, each from France and Germany with a score of 5-0.
From the singles sector, Red and White pinned their hopes on Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, Putri Kusuma Wardani, and Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo. Nandini Putri Arumni’s women’s singles will certainly not appear due to injury against Yaelle Hoyaux from France, Monday (11/10).
Dini had to be parked for six weeks due to suspected partial damage to the medial knee ligament of the right leg.
“Dini certainly cannot continue to compete in the Uber Cup. His participation in the Czech Republic and the Belgian Open must also be withdrawn,” said team manager Eddy Prayitno, in a release. PBSI.
With these conditions, like it or not, the Uber Indonesia team will continue to rely on Gregoria, Putri, and Ester. “Yes, we will play these three players to defend Indonesia in the next match in the Uber Cup,” said Rionny Mainaky, Head of Binpres PP PBSI.
Not only Dini, the gold pair of the Tokyo Olympics, Greysia Polii/Apriyani Rahayu was also saved against Japan. The women’s doubles sector relies on Ribka Sugiarto/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti as the spearhead.
They will be accompanied by Putri Syaikah/Nita Violina Marwah. Putri Syaikah, who is familiarly called Chika, had previously appeared and contributed points during a duet with her senior Apriyani against France.
“In the women’s doubles, the formation is different. They no longer rely on Greysia/Apriyani, but play a young pair. This is part of the regeneration process in the women’s doubles sector,” said head coach of women’s doubles, Eng Hian.
