Few things can awe the top pros after years on the circuit, but the charged atmosphere at the Indonesia Open is one of them. It is unusual for any other event to have a full-house crowd at 9am on a Tuesday; the Indonesia Open defies all convention in this regard.
It was a deafening opening session at the BLIBLI Indonesia Open 2019 this morning. The crowd was out in full strength, and the players couldn’t have been more pleased. Even those like Germany’s Isabel Herttrich and Linda Efler, who fell in straight games in the opening round of women’s doubles.
“It’s very special, it’s the most exciting one on the Tour. It’s 9 O’clock in the morning and (yet) they were really loud. It’s often difficult to hear each other on court, I would wish there are more tournaments like this,” said Herttrich.
