Jakarta, - One of the Indonesian favorites once again roared the Senayan sporting arena's noisy crowd this Friday afternoon, (5/6). This time made by the 2104 Asian Games gold medalist in women's doubles category, Nitya Krishinda/Greysia Polii. They upped their performance by defeating Chinese second seeded Luo Ying/Luo Yu at Indonesia Open Super Series Premier 2015 quarter final in a two straight game, 21-15 and 21-19.

 

In the last encounter, the Indonesian pair suffered a bitter defeat when playing at Malaysia Open Super Series Premier 2015. Being able to equalize their record against the Chinese pair on home ground, they expressed their happiness and satisfaction.

"Praise Lord we could succeed in the quarter final, above all, I am satisfied I could make a payback," Greysia said.

"Our key to victory in the match was well preparation prior to playing. And most importantly, always trying to have self control and not to be too emotional. And also not to be careless and losing focus although we were losing in the second game," Nitya added. 

On the other hand, the Chinese pair admitted that their defeat was due to not playing their level in the first game, and inability to relax in the second game.

"Our being defeated in the first game was because we didn't hit right, and many chances were wasted so we couldn't do the best" stated Luo Ying.

"Leading the sexond game, we felt the tense, so we failed to return the shuttlecock in the last crucial points," Luo Ying said.

In semifinal tomorrow, Saturday (6/6), Greysia/Nitya are still waiting a winner of a match played by Yu Yang/Zhong Qianxin (China) and Christina Pedersen/Kamila Rytter Juhl (Denmark). The game itself is to play this evening. 

"May tomorrow will be well prepared. I may need to contemplate before playing," Greysia said.
