Indonesian mixed doubles pair Amri Syahnawi and Nita Violina Marwah stated that the solid defense of Japanese pair Midorikawa and Natsu Saito made them lose 13-21, 20-22 in the round of 32 of the 2025 Denmark Open at Jyske Bank Arena on Tuesday.
"The difference from the last meeting, where we were able to win, was that they defended more tightly today and their speed was not to be outdone by us," Nita said in a PBSI statement on Wednesday.
In their last meeting in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Korea Open, Amri/Nita defeated Midorikawa/Saito in two straight games.
Amri said his opponent's performance this time was very different from their last meeting at the Korea Open.
