Indonesia’s newly formed mixed doubles pair Rehan Kusharjanto-Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja stunend top-seeds Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei in the 2025 Orleans Masters on Thursday.
The World No.173 clinched a dominating 21-8, 21-17 victory in just 33 at the BWF Super 300 event.
It was the first-ever meeting for Rehan-Gloria and the Malaysians. The Indonesian mixed doubles pair were appearing in their only third tournament.
The Indonesia pair entered the event after finishing as runners-up at the German Open in Mulheim on Sunday, where they lost to the Dutch-Danish combination of Robin Tabeling and Alexandra Boje.
Incidentally, the two pairs will clash again in the first round of the 2025 All England Open Badminton Championships.
Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai (world No. 3) and Tang Jie-Ee Wei (world No. 4) will be the top two seeds in Birmingham.
