Patience/Reza Conquered Hard and Slow
Indonesian Badminton Team Faces Challenges at Swiss Open
Basel – Performance in a badminton match is influenced by various factors, as experienced by the indonesian men’s doubles team, Sabar Karyaman Gutama and Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.
Sabar and Reza were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Swiss Open tournament on Friday, a week after reaching the semi-finals of the All england Open. They entered the swiss open as the world’s seventh-ranked pair, a rise from eighth position after their strong showing on the BWF World Tour.
Their debut experience at the All England Open and their status as the second seed in Switzerland presented opportunities for Sabar and Reza to achieve better results. The Swiss Open is a Super 300 level tournament, considered lower than the All England Open Super 1000.
Though, these factors did not guarantee success for Sabar and Reza. They lost to the Taiwanese duo, Lee Fang-chih and Lee Fang-jen, with scores of 19-21, 21-14, 13-21 at St. jakobshalle in Basel.
Sabar and Reza were the second Indonesian team eliminated by the Lee brothers in Switzerland, following Leo Rolly Carnando and bagas Maulana, All England finalists, who lost in the second round. Notably, Lee and Lee had a poor showing at the all England Open, losing in the first round to Leo and Bagas.

Athletes must be aware of the unique conditions of each tournament, even with prior experience.A key difference between the All England Open and the Swiss Open is the shuttlecock speed.
While shuttlecocks adhere to certain weight standards for international tournaments, their speed can vary depending on factors like weather and the altitude of the venue.
The shuttlecocks are selected by the tournament referee after being tested by athletes before the competition begins. participants have the possibility to test them during training.
Ultimately, performance and match results depend on an athlete’s adaptation. In their Swiss Open quarter-final, Lee and Lee’s playing style, which favored a slower shuttlecock speed, proved more effective than Sabar and Reza’s.
Unable to score rapid points, both pairs engaged in extended rallies, focusing on defense and waiting for opportunities to attack.
Lee and lee demonstrated greater resilience in defense.When unable to finish rallies with smashes, they employed dropshots
when Sabar and reza were positioned deep in the backcourt.
Their match, reminiscent of women’s doubles, featured long rallies exceeding 50 shots, lasting one hour and 10 minutes.
Another men’s doubles match exceeding one hour saw Ben lane and Sean Vendy of England face Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Kittinupong Kedren of Thailand. Puavaranukroh and Kedren won 21-18, 20-22, 21-18 after one hour and 16 minutes.
Our opponents played better. We tried various approaches,from attacking to defending,but they were very consistent,especially in the final points of the third game.Sabar Karyaman Gutama
Reflecting on the two European tournaments, Reza emphasized the need to improve physical endurance for stronger attacks. Hendra Setiawan, who accompanied Sabar and Reza in Europe, echoed this sentiment, noting their positive progress but stressing the importance of increased muscle endurance.
With the elimination of Sabar/Reza and Leo/Bagas, Muhammad Shohibul Fikri and Daniel Marthin remain in the competition, facing Lee and Lee in the semi-finals. Fikri and Daniel defeated another Taiwanese pair, Lee Jhe-huei and Yang Po-hsuan, 21-19, 21-17.

Women’s Singles and Doubles semifinals
Two Indonesian representatives also secured semi-final spots in the women’s singles and doubles categories. Putri Kusuma Wardani will face Chen Yufei after defeating Han Qianxi 21-7,21-12.
The match against Chen presents an opportunity for Putri to improve and avenge her defeat in the second round of the All England Open. Despite a strong performance that forced chen to three games, Putri fell behind in the third game, losing 14-21, 24-22, 10-21.
In women’s doubles, Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma and Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi defeated Laksika Kanlaha and Phamaimas Muenwong 21-13, 21-15. Amalia emphasized that despite their previous victory over the Thai pair at the All England Open, they remained cautious in Switzerland due to the different shuttlecock characteristics, which affected their tactics.
Today, we engaged in many rallies while looking for gaps to score points. Moreover,our opponent’s defense was tough to penetrate.Amalia Cahaya Pratiwi
The next challenge for the Indonesian women’s doubles team is against Jia Yifan and Zhang Shuxian of China. Despite pairing up only since November 2024, Jia and Zhang are experienced competitors.
Jia has 19 titles from BWF World Tour tournaments between 2019 and 2024 with her former partner, chen Qingchen. They are four-time world champions and won gold at the Paris 2024 olympics.
Badminton athletes face challenges beyond their opponents, as demonstrated
by Indonesian men’s doubles pair Sabar Karyaman Gutama and Mohammad Reza
Pahlevi Isfahani.
Gutama and Isfahani were eliminated in the Swiss Open quarterfinals after
reaching the All England semifinals the previous week. They entered the
Swiss Open ranked seventh globally, a rise from eighth after their
performance at the BWF World Tour.
Despite their all England experience and status as the second seed in
Switzerland, Gutama and Isfahani lost to Taiwan’s Lee Fang-chih and Lee
Fang-jen 19-21, 21-14, 13-21.
The Taiwanese duo also defeated All England finalists Leo Rolly Carnando and
Bagas Maulana in the second round.

england tournament in Birmingham. The pair were later eliminated in the
Swiss Open quarterfinals.
Athletes must adapt to different conditions in each tournament. One key
difference between All England and the Swiss Open was the speed of the
shuttlecock.
The shuttlecocks are chosen by the tournament referee after being tested by
athletes before the competition.
Performance depends on an athlete’s adaptation. The Taiwanese players’
slow-paced game proved more effective than Gutama and Isfahani’s in the
Swiss Open quarterfinal.
Unable to score quick points, both pairs engaged in extended rallies,
focusing on defense and waiting for attack opportunities.
The Taiwanese team demonstrated resilience in defense, using
dropshots
when Gutama and Isfahani were positioned near the back of the court.
