The Indonesia Masters 2019 badminton tournament starts today. The third tournament in the 2019 BWF World Tour calendar will be held from January 22 to 27 2019 at Istora Senayan, Jakarta. Based on the drawings released by Bwfbadminton.com, 37 Indonesian representatives will compete in this tournament.
Of these, six of them are included in the flagship list.
The six Indonesian representatives who were superior in the BWF World Tour 2019 tournament in the Super 500 category were in four sectors, except the women's singles.
They are Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, the 7th seed in the men's singles sector. Furthermore, Greysia Polii / Apriyani Rahayu and Tontowi Ahmad / Liliyana Natsir, respectively as the 4th seed in the women's doubles and mixed doubles sectors. The other three were representatives in the men's doubles sector, one of them being the 2019 Malaysia Masters champion, Marcus Fernaldi Gideon / Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. They still occupy the first seed in the 2019 Indonesia Masters. Next, Fajar Alfian / Muhammad Rian Ardianto, 6th seed, and Mohammad Ahsan / Hendra Setiawan as seed 8.
The results of the 2019 Indonesia Masters draw are arguably less profitable for the host. Because, many representatives of Indonesia will compete in the early rounds.
In the men's singles sector, for example, Anthony Ginting will face Tommy Sugiarto.
Practically, one of them will only compete once and immediately 'go home' after the first round match is finished.
Conditions not much different occur in the men's doubles sector. Four Indonesian representatives (two of them featured) are in the top group or seeds 1 to 8.
They have the chance to elbow each other in the second round to the quarter-finals.
Four Indonesian men's doubles representatives who had the chance to elbow each other up to the quarter-finals were Marcus / Kevin, Wahyu / Ade, Fajar / Rian and Berry / Hardianto.Not only in the men's singles and men's doubles sectors, the chances of the matches of fellow Indonesian representatives in the initial round were also seen from the results of the women's doubles and mixed doubles drawings.
