Legends such as Christian Hadinata, Haryanto Arby, and Alan Budikusuma who attended the Meet and Greet with Badminton Athlete this afternoon at Blibli.com booth are no exception.

The world badminton legends also expected Ihsan to win and gave him advice for the semifinal match against Malaysia’s Lee Chong Wei.

“The fact is Indonesian men’s singles currently is lacking experience. For Ihsan who is fighting in semifinal, whatever happens he must fight hard and don’t be afraid taking on the more seeded player,“ Alan said.

“Ihsan’s chance is slim if looking at the rank and experience which are more inferior to Lee Chong Wei’s. Hopefully, the crowd’s support at the stadium can motivate him,” said Arby. Ihsan will face Lee Chong Wei in the fifth phase and will be aired live by a national television channel, Trans 7.
