They 2016 Rio Olympic gold medalist becomes the only Indonesian representative in the ultimate final of the BCA Indonesia Open Superseries Premier 2017 which will be held tonight, Sunday (18/6).

Tontowi/liliyana will challenge Chinese world's number one mixed doubles, Zheng Siwei/Chen Qingchen. The both sides met once at 2014 China Open where Tontowi/Liliyana was defeated in two straight games, 18-21 and 15-21.

As the best Indonesian mixed doubles pair, Tontowi/Liliyana have gathered many achievements, the peak was becoming the gold medalist at 2016 Rio Olympic. However, Tontowi/Liliyana so far have not won any title at home. With a ticket to final in their hands, they only need to take one more step to become a champion.

Tontowi/Liliyana reached Indonesia Open final twice. In 2012, they were stopped by Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam (Thailand). In 2011, Tontowi/Liliyana reached final and they were halted by Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei (Tiongkok).

Can Tontowi/Liliyana finally set a new record in the final of the 2017 BCA Indonesia Open Superseries Premier this time?
