Posted : 23 January 2026

Day 4 of the BWF Badminton World Tour Indonesia Masters Super 500 in Jakarta offered a compelling mix of solid victories, historic achievements, and breakthrough performances as the tournament progressed into the quarterfinal stages.

Two of the headline stories came in the singles events where PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen both delivered convincing straight‑game wins to secure spots in the quarterfinals. Sindhu, the two‑time Olympic medallist, continued her strong form by outplaying Denmark’s Line Hojmark Kjaersfeldt with consistent attacking play, while Sen dominated his round of 16 match to move deeper into the competition. These victories ensured both Indian stars remain in contention for Super 500 honours.

Adding to Sindhu’s achievements on the day, she became the first Indian shuttler to reach 500 career singles match wins, a remarkable milestone that highlights her longevity and success on the world tour. After a composed performance in Jakarta that brought her milestone victory, Sindhu now prepares for an even tougher quarterfinal date with one of the tournament’s top seeds.

In the women’s singles draw, another story of rising talent emerged as K. Letshanaa from Malaysia made her first Super 500 quarterfinal appearance, defeating a higher‑ranked opponent in straight games. Her strong performance underlined the increasing depth in the women’s field and added an exciting narrative to the quarterfinal line‑up.

Indonesia’s home crowd had plenty to cheer about in the doubles categories, where local stars continued to make their mark. In men’s doubles, Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri advanced to the quarterfinals after a high‑pressure win in a derby contest against compatriots Leo Rolly Carnando and Bagas Maulana, showcasing Indonesia’s strength in this discipline.

Another highlight in the mixed doubles draw saw Jafar Hidayatullah and Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu reach the semifinals for the first time at this event, defeating a seeded French pair in a tightly contested match that went the distance. Their breakthrough run reflects the growing competitiveness of Indonesia’s mixed doubles teams on the World Tour stage.

As the competition moves into the final stages at the Istora Senayan, fans can expect plenty more high‑intensity clashes, with top seeds and emerging stars alike aiming to book spots in the semifinals. With strong performances across singles and doubles, the Indonesia Masters continues to deliver drama and standout moments on Day 4 and beyond.
