Selasa, 15 Jan 2019 08:38 WIB

SURABAYAPAGI.com, Jakarta - The All Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) positively welcomed the journey of the country’s troops in achieving this year’s achievement. PBSI’s Head of Development and Achievement Susy Susanti said that the title won at the inaugural tournament of the World Badminton Federation (BWF) tour in Thailand became an encouragement for Indonesia. The title is presented from the women’s singles number. Fitriani became the Thailand Masters 2019 champion after defeating Busanan Ongbamrungphan in the final match which took place at Huamark Indoor Stadium, Bangkok, Sunday (13/1), with a score of 21-12 and 21-14. Susy said that the success of Fitriani proved that all Indonesian champions had the ability to achieve. He hopes that Indonesian athletes will be more enthusiastic about the 2019 season. "This title is the best achievement for the women’s singles. Reaching the title at the beginning of the year will definitely increase the spirit of our women’s singles players. So far, women’s singles are considered the most unachieved, at most, "Susy said on Monday (14/1). Susy said, armed with hard work, what could happen. The 1992 Barcelona Olimpaide gold medalist for the women’s singles believes that Indonesia’s chances of being better than last year are very high. "With all the hard work we can, this is shown by Fitriani, even though he is not seeded he can finally win the title," Susy said. Susy explained, Fitriani gave an example of how to deal with pressure. The defender looks very eager to prove his ability after passing dark years without a title. "Fitriani can get past the pressure, and be sure of himself, this is the most important thing, Previously last year, he heard too much from people, he was not sure of himself. "This title is a very good capital," Susy said. Women’s Singer Trainer, Minarti Timur stated that the key to success for Fitriani was a neat and patient game. That afternoon, Minarti saw the West Java-born athlete be able to apply the pattern of long rallies and deadly counterattacks. "He can play more focused and calm so he can overcome his opponents. Hopefully this victory will become a special capital for Fitriani to be able to be more confident and be able to motivate other female singles, "said Minarti, Furthermore, Fitriani and his colleagues will be participating in the 2019 Malaysia Masters. Last year’s Malaysia Masters men’s doubles, Fajar Alfian / Muhammad Rian Ardianto, is very optimistic about the tournament. He targets to be able to defend the title. "The target is definitely to defend the title, but this year the opponents will be even harder. So you have to be ready for every game and every round, you have to focus on the main point, don’t burden, "Fajar said on Monday. Indonesian tennis player Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian greeted the crowd before the 2018 Asian Games men’s doubles badminton branch medal at the Istora Senayan, Jakarta. In the Malaysia Masters 2019 first round, Fajar / Rian will face Manu Attri / Reddy B Sumeeth (India). Coming as the fifth seed, Dawn / Rian was more favored to win from Attri / Reddy. Moreover, the Indonesian pair recorded a 1-0 lead in the record meeting, after winning at the 2018 Asian Games yesterday. If you qualify, in the second round, Fajar / Rian will face either Marcus Ellis / Chris Langridge (England) or Aaron Chian / Wooi Yik Soh (Malaysia). Fierce opponents will be met by Fajar / Rian in the quarter-finals, where they will likely meet Kim Astrup / Anders Skaarup Rasmussen (Denmark). Their meeting notes while not taking sides with Fajar / Rian. Twice met, Fajar / Rian has not been able to win the match over Astrup / Rasmussen. "We must be ready. All opponents are equally heavy, the important thing is that the focus can be maintained and the spirit continues, "said Rian. Besides Fajar / Rian, world number one male partner, Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo / Marcus Fernaldi Gideon will also go down to compete at Axiata Stadium, Kuala Lumpur Sport City, Malaysia. For the first match, Kevin / Marcus is still waiting for an opponent from the qualifying round. The 2019 Malaysia Masters will take place on January 15-20 2019. This tournament will compete for a total prize of 350 thousand US Dollars, equivalent to Rp. 4.9 billion. The PBSI Pelatnas Team itself lowered 22 representatives in this event. Rk
