TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesia will go against Canada in the first match of Thomas CUP Group B at Impact Arena, Bangkok, on Sunday, May 20. The game starts at 09:00 WIB.
In the single match, Indonesia team is represented by Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Ihsan Maulana Mustofa, and Firman Abdul Kholik. While the double players are Muhammad Rian Ardianto/Fajar Alfian and Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan.
Susy Susanti, the team manager of 2018 Thomas and Uber Cup, expressed her optimism that Indonesia has a chance to win the match. "For the singles -whoever plays- we think Indonesian players are still more skilled than Canadian.
