KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 — National men’s doubles shuttlers Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun and national women’s pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah have made it through to the Indonesian Open semifinals.
Wei Chong-Kai Wun had no trouble beating Indian pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty 21-19, 21-16 at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, while Pearly-Thinaah beat Japanese pair Rin Iwanaga-Kie Nakanishi 21-6, 21-18.
Wei Chong said the victory came from focusing on the gameplay and strategy outlined by their coach.
“We don’t think win or lose; we just do what we need to do. We just focus on game plan and strategy,” he said in an audio recording shared by the Badminton World Federation today.
Wei Chong-Kai Wun will play home pair Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani, while Pearly-Thinaah will meet China’s Li Yi Jing-Luo Xu Min in their respective semifinal matches tomorrow.
