Indonesia confirm their place in the final 2022 World Championship after two representatives faced each other in the semi-finals.

Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto did not encounter significant difficulties against Ben Lane/Sean Vendy in the quarter-finals of the Badminton World Championships.

After Fajar/Rian victories 21-11 and 21-16, Muhammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan continued the glorious footsteps of the Indonesian representatives by defeating the Indian doubles MR Arjun/Dhruv Kapila 21-8 and 21-14.

The victory of the two representatives of Indonesia made all indonesian semifinals in the men’s doubles sector.

Fajar/Rian will meet Ahsan/Hendra in the semi-finals, as happened three years ago at the World Championships in Basel.

At this time Fajar/Rian lost to Ahsan/Hendra who later became champions.

Judging from the previous encounter between Fajar/Rian and Ahsan/Hendra, it will be a tight encounter as the two pairs have only met four times and have drawn and lost against each other.

Fajar/Rian won the 2018 German Open and the 2022 Malaysia Masters. While Ahsan/Hendra won the 2019 World Championship and the 2020 Indonesia Masters.

The meeting of the other Indonesian representatives in the men’s doubles semi-final at the 2022 Badminton World Championships had been predicted in advance.

The presence of three pairs including Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo / Marcus Fernaldi Gideon in the same group has the potential to lead to a duel between Indonesian representatives in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, in the other pool, the competition for semi-final tickets was between Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik vs. Choi Sol Gyu/Seo Seung Jae and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty met Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi.
