Singapore Open: One Title in Bag for Indonesia
It’s Indonesians galore in the Singapore Open 2022 semifinals.

And with all their men’s pairs passing their last eight tests, the badminton powerhouse is assured of a title as early as Friday – the first time this has happened at the event since 2002, when Chinese players Zhou Mi, Zhang Ning, Xie Xingfang and Gong Ruina contested the women’s singles semifinals.
But today’s passage was hardly plain-sailing, as three of the pairs were pushed to rubber games.
Fajar Alfian, who alongside partner Muhammad Rian Ardianto nabbed the final berth with a 16-21 21-15 21-15 win over spirited homesters Hee Yong Kai Terry and Loh Kean Hean, acknowledged Indonesia’s supremacy in men’s doubles.
