Alwi seemed full of confidence. The fourth seed successfully defeated India’s Ayush Shetty with a score of 21-18, 21-15 in 37 minutes to advance to the final match.

“Thank God I was able to win. In fact, I didn’t think I could make it to the final. However, I can’t be satisfied because tomorrow there is still a final match to win,” Alwi said. .

Alwi’s victory not only earned him a ticket to the final but also paid for Ayush’s defeat. In the first encounter of the Denmark Junior 2021 semi-finals, Alwi was defeated by Ayush in three games, 21-16, 17-21, 21-23.

“Indeed, in the previous meeting it was close. But now, from the very beginning, I prepared a pattern for facing the opponent. It turns out that the opponent’s pattern of play is as I predicted it. The opponent is also playing with a similar pattern to the one I prepared at the start. So we can say that everything went well,” Alwi added.

In the final, Alwi will face Hu Zhe An. The third seed from China in the semifinals replaced the top seed from France, Alex Lanier, 22-20, 22-20.

In the previous Suhandinata Cup team final encounter, when Indonesia lost 1-3 to China last week, Alwi Farhan managed to beat Hu Zhe An, 21-15, 19-21, 21-13. On the other hand, in the semi-final of the 2023 Asian Junior Championships in Yogyakarta, Alwi lost 17-21, 13-21.

“To face the final match, I need to focus on recovery, prepare my mindset, my mindset and also my motivation. I ask for prayers and support from the Indonesian people so that the two Indonesian representatives can bring back the trophy”, Alwi still hopes. .

In mixed doubles, Jonathan Farrell Gosal/Priskila Venus Elsadai’s progress towards the final had to be stopped after being beaten by the Chinese Liao Pin Yi/Zhang Jia Han, 16-21, 16-21. Previously, Jojo/Elsa were also defeated by the duo from the land of Bamboo Curtain in the team final, with a score of 19-21, 14-21.
