Jakarta –
Dawn Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto waiting for China’s representative in the semifinals Indonesia Masters 2022. Fajar/Rian must maintain consistency.
Fajar/Rian succeeded in overthrowing the third seed, Lee Yang/Wang Chi Lin, in the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Masters 2022. In the match at Istora Senayan, Friday (10/6/2022) evening WIB, the Swiss Open 2022 champion won two straight games with a score of 21 -15, 21-18, at the same time sealing tickets for the semifinals against the 2020 Tokyo Olympic champions.
The next Dawn/Rian has been waiting for He Ji Ting/Zhou Hao Dong in the semifinals. The Chinese men’s doubles also won after defeating Kang Min Hyuk / Seo Seung Jae from Korea, 21-16, 26-28, 21-19.
The match between the two pairs is also predicted to be tight because Fajar/Rian and Ji Ting/Hao Dong have beaten each other in two meetings. Fajar/Rian won in the final of the 2020 Thomas Cup before being met by Ji Ting/Hao Dong at the 2022 German Open.
“Tomorrow’s preparations may be more about maintaining conditions, yes, because playing every day, stamina is also drained, but the opponents are also the same. Moreover, they also play from the qualifying round so that shouldn’t be an excuse. We have to maintain stamina and focus because the most important thing is that for me,” said Fajar.
Apart from strategy, Fajar/Rian until now still have problems with consistency in the field, which ultimately makes them make their own mistakes.
“To maintain consistency, what is certain is communication. Not only on the field, outside we must continue to do to correct previous mistakes,” said Fajar.
Rian said the same thing. In addition to strategy and consistency, they must also anticipate the power of the Chinese double.
“Yes, as we know Chinese players have strong power too, just like Taiwan earlier. So we have to discuss how to fight them tomorrow,” said Rian.
“The anticipation must be more attacking first. Because if we are attacked, while they have strong power. So we better attack first,” he emphasized.
