List of Indonesian Representatives at the 2023 Badminton Asia Championships: 16 Red and White Fighters Aim for Titles from Dubai

The Central Executive of the Indonesian Badminton Association (PP PBSI) has set a target of three titles from the 2023 Badminton Asia Championships. Head of Development and Achievement Division of PP PBSI Rionny Mainaky said that the target for the championships is borne by men’s singles, men’s doubles and women’s singles.

“As for the Asian (champions), I hope to get three. There are men’s singles, men’s doubles and women’s singles,” said Rionny.

Rionny said that the biggest chance of winning the title came from the men’s doubles number based on his dominant record from the previous tournament.

“From the men’s doubles we are dominant, but don’t take it lightly. From the men’s singles there is, I think from yesterday’s results they have motivation. I think from practice there is curiosity, this is the best of them for men’s singles,” Rionny explained.

Meanwhile, from women’s singles, Rionny hopes that Gregoria Mariska Tunjung can add to her collection of titles after breaking an egg by winning the BWF World Tour event for the first time at the Spain Masters.

Gregoria’s performance is considered to have increased significantly. At the Super 300 level event, she successfully defeated the 2016 Rio Olympic champion and co-host Carolina Marin, as well as Olympic silver medalist Pusarla V Sindhu from India.

“Yesterday, Gregoria won the championship, we are preparing again. Not mentally, but added to the title. Always (passed) the semifinals and then the finals, in the end we can win. Now I am targeting to win again,” said Rionny.
