It turns out that the mental pressure of playing in teams is different from that in the individual championship,” said Yeremia. .
After losing badly in the first game, in the second game Pramudya/Jeremiah actually started to find a form of play. They can catch up to numbers 19-20. However, Pramudya’s mistake was unable to cross the shuttlecock, ending the match.

Ikhsan Leonardo Immanuel Rumbay said the same thing, who was defeated by Kim Joo Wan in the third party. Despite struggling, Ikhsan had to admit the superiority of his opponent with a score of 18-21, 14-21.
“I was just not consistent. In the first game I was able to excel, but then I made a lot of mistakes. In the second game, I was too far behind,” said Ikhsan.
