Yogyakarta – Indonesia successfully becomes the runner-up in the 2023 Badminton Asia Junior Championships. This is a tournament organized by the Badminton Asia governing body to crown the best junior badminton players (under 19) in Asia.Â
This followed the defeat of the men's doubles Muhammad Al Farizi/Nikolaus Joaquin from Japan's representatives Kenta Matsukawa / Daigo Tanioka in the final round on Tuesday.
In the match held at GOR Amongrogo, Yogyakarta, Farizi/Joaquin had to recognize the Matsukawa/Tanioka pair through a rubber game battle with a score of 11-21, 21-19, 13-21.
In this match, the Farizi/Joaquin pair claimed to have played their best.
"We have played our best in this match. We have both played optimally and played our best," said Farizi as quoted from Indonesian Badminton Association or PBSI's official statement.
