INDONESIAN men’s doubles pair Fajar Alfian-Rian Ardianto had a fabulous run last year but have gone through an uncharacteristic struggle in the ongoing Malaysian Open.

They took three games to beat Christo-Tomo Junior Popov of France in the first round and yesterday, came back from the dead to overcome Germany’s Markus Lamsfuss-Marvin Seidel 8-21, 21-19, 21-16 in the second round.However, Fajar denied that the pair’s success in becoming the new world No. 1 had put them under pressure and affected their performance.“In fact, we take it as a bonus for our hard work and the good results we achieved last year,” said the 27-year-old Fajar.

Fajar-Rian won four titles – the Denmark Open, Indonesian and Malaysian Masters as well as the Swiss Open last year and the pair are in the drivers’ seat to claim one of the two places for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
