Indonesian Men’s Doubles Stock is Abundant, Danish Couple Calls “Crazy”

KOMPAS.com – Denmark’s best men’s doubles, Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen, admitted that the stock of the Indonesian pair in this number was very abundant. In fact, he called it “crazy”.

The statement was launched because Indonesia almost never runs out of men’s doubles. Regeneration goes well so that new seeds continue to emerge while the best pairs are still at their peak.

Astrup/Rasmussen admitted that it was very difficult to face the world number one pair Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan (ranked 3 in the world).

When the two pairs were still active and in the top position, now Indonesia already has new pairs of men’s doubles. This is what makes the Danish men’s doubles thumbs up. They think the competition will be tougher.

“Currently, the Indonesian men’s doubles pair are quite crazy. They have six pairs that are in the world rankings,” said Rasmussen at a fan meeting in Jakarta, Sunday (12/6/2022).

“So we are currently going to be very difficult when it comes to dealing with Indonesian players.”

That’s the fact. Apart from Marcus/Kevin and Ahsan/Hendra, Indonesia still has Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto who are in the top 10 list in the world.

In fact, Fajar/Rian just won the Indonesia Masters 2022. In the final match at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, Sunday (12/6), the pair known as FajRi defeated the Chinese representatives.

In addition, there are still several young couples who are coatings but have shown impressive performances. This is why they have penetrated the top 30 positions in the world because they took the podium in a number of prestigious events.

Call it Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana. The pair surged to number 20 in the world thanks to a phenomenal achievement when the 2022 All England champions debuted in the oldest tournament.

There was also Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Erich Yoche who broke into the 16th position. Last month they won the Badminton Asia Championships aka the 2022 Badminton Asia Championships.

There’s still Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Martin at 23rd in the BWF. The pair have never won but were runners-up at the Hylo Open 2021 and reached the semifinals of the Thailand Open 2021 Super 1000 level tournament.

Leo/Daniel also managed to present a gold medal for Indonesia at the SEA Games Vietnam 2022 stage last month.
