Last week’s Malaysia Masters champion, Chen Yu Fei, suffered an early defeat at the DAIHATSU Indonesia Masters 2020. She was beaten in straight games by Denmark’s Line Kjaersfeldt. It was a significant victory for Kjaersfeldt, who had previously taken Chen to three games in Malaysia. This win will surely boost her confidence after a series of early losses in the latter half of last year.
Kjaersfeldt expressed her happiness with the result, acknowledging Chen’s recent success and anticipating that she might be tired. She approached the match with determination, giving it her all, and emerged victorious. Kjaersfeldt credited her training in December for helping her improve her shape and ultimately achieve this win. She emphasized the importance of starting the new year strong after a relatively weaker second half of 2019.

Another surprising result came as defending champion Saina Nehwal fell in the opening round to Sayaka Takahashi, with a score of 19-21, 21-13, 21-5. On the other hand, last year’s finalist, Carolina Marin, enjoyed a smooth victory over Nitchaon Jindapol, with a score of 21-13, 21-15. Marin expressed her emotions upon returning to the court after her injury in last year’s final, attributing a few nervous mistakes to that but regaining her focus and executing her game plan effectively.
In the men’s singles, defending champion Anders Antonsen overcame Son Wan Ho in the second game, replicating his start from last year’s tournament. Antonsen expressed his excitement about playing against Son again and gauging their respective levels in this match.
However, the second seed, Chou Tien Chen, who previously defeated Antonsen in the Indonesia Open final, unexpectedly lost to Hong Kong Open champion Lee Cheuk Yiu with a score of 21-12, 21-17.
