2022 Asian Championship – Indonesian Princess Double Escapes from Lion Cage, Enter Crocodile Cage – Bolasport.com
BOLASPORT.COM – AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFIED TO THE MAIN ROUND OF THE 2022 ASIA CHAMPIONSHIP DONT MAKE A DOUBLE STEP FOR THE YOUNG PRINCESS OF INDONESIA, MEILYSA TRIAS PUSPITA SARI/RACHEL ALLESSYA ROSE, IT HAS BEEN EASY.
Meilysa Trias Puspita Sari/Rachel Allesya Rose will get valuable experience when directly challenging the original fourth seed Japan, Yuki Fukushima/Sayaka Hirota, in the first round.
Fukushima/Hirota are the former number one womens doubles pair world.
The two-time Indonesia Open champion had dominated the competition in Indonesia womens doubles before a knee injury (ACL) hit Hirota ahead of the Olympics Tokyo 2020.
Fukushima/Hirota arent real Meilysa/Rachel opponents, at least if you look at the results of the previous lottery.
Joined in Group A in the qualifiers, Meilysa/Rachel should be facing Chinas representative, Du Yue/Li Wen Mei, who really isnt easy opponent.
Du/Li status is not a superior pair because its new paired at the 2021 Denmark Open last October.
However, individually, Du and Li have a pretty good track record.
Du Yue was once ranked fifth in the world in womens doubles with Li Yun Hui with the Macau Open 2019 title, German Open 2019, and China Masters 2018.
As for Li Wen Mei, he was ranked ninth in the world of doubles women with Zheng Yu with a trophy collection from Malaysia Masters 2020.
