Ahsan / Hendra admitted that even though they lost, in terms of their game, they had improved a lot compared to when they appeared at the 2021 Denamrk Open.
In that event, Ahsan / Hendra fell in the first round. They were defeated by the German men’s doubles, Mark Lamsfuss/Marvin Seidel, two straight games with a score of 17-21 and 13-21.
“In the first game we played correctly. In the second game, it’s a shame, because they are already ahead but they can catch up,” said Ahsan after the match.
