· DIANNE PIERRE & PREM KUMAR
Accompanying Viktor Axelsen, mixed pair Mathias Christiansen/Alexandra BØje and Rasmus Gemke made their first HSBC World Tour Super 1000 semifinals with hard-fought wins yesterday.
In the process, Christiansen/Bøje who ousted No.6 seeds Hafiz Faizal/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja in a battle lasting 64 minutes, became the first Danish mixed pair to make the Indonesia Open semifinals since Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen in 2015.
The result is a clash with Tokyo 2020 bronze medallists Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino.
