At the Australian Open in the first week of April the Indonesian team did very well, taking three golds and a silver. The mixed doubles final was especially exciting; the Indonesian partnership of Irfan Fadhilah and Weni Anggraini (on the right in the picture,) of whom great things are expected in the future, went head to head with the ROK’s Shin Baek Choel/ Jang Yi Na (on the left) who took the title at the German Open just last month; the Indonesian pair emerged victorious in a three game match, 21-14, 22-24 , 21-16. 

 

Indonesia has always performed well in the mixed doubles disciple and now occupies nearly half of the spots in the world top 15 (seven).
