Currently, Fajar/Fikri are still ranked 15th in the BWF World Tour ranking, so it is not certain that they will advance to the World Tour Finals, which will be the year-ending tournament.
“We really have to achieve high targets if we want to qualify for the World Tour Finals, but we don’t want to think about that because we’re afraid it will become a burden.”
“We have only competed in eight tournaments, we will try our best to qualify there, but the most important thing is that we want to enjoy match after match here,” said Fajar as quoted from the PBSI release.
Meanwhile, regarding the match in the first half, Fajar explained the change in pace which affected the duel against Lau Yi Sheng/Lim Tze Jian.
“Today there was a problem in the first game because there was a change in pace
