As quoted from sport.detik.com, although the mood is not really good at Pelatnas (national training center) due to poor results at Sudirman Cup 2017, the Indonesian Badminton Association doesn't change its target at least one title at BIO2017. Looking back at the national training center performances in the beginning of 2017, Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Marcus Fernaldi Gideon are the only players that succeeded in winning Superseries.

However, Budiharto does not want to put high expectations on Kevin/Marcus shoulders to become champions. Other sectors as well are considered to have similar chances to win at BIO2017.

"Indonesia Open is an individual tournament, it depends on each player's preparation. The coaches will surely keep on trying to give the best they can, the athlete development expects at least one title will be won and it can from anywhere, it doesn't have to come from men's doubles because there is also a promising chance coming from mixed doubles, Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir and Praveen Jordan/Debby Susanto," said Budiharto.

"So it is not impossible for them to win the titles, even from the men's singles. It was unlucky that last year we were stopped at semifinal by Lee Chong Wei, so did Jonatan, he nearly reached semifinal," he ended.
