Indonesia Open ‐ Created by AH | WTP

JAKARTA - After succeeding in the first round by overcoming Indonesian men's doubles pair, the good looking Korean athlete, Lee Yong Dae, who is partnered with Yoo Yeon Seong, will take on another Indonesian pair.

In the first round on Wednesday afternoon, (1/6), Lee/Yoo managed to halt Angga Pratama/Ricky Karanda Suwardi journey with an easy two straight game match, 21-14 and 21-9.

"We are satisfied with our performance. Looking at the Indonesian pair, they seemed to be nervous playing in front of their own public. The key to our victory was avoiding netting play, the Indonesians are good at it," Lee said.

Lee Young Dae himself is well known as a good looking player by his Indonesian fans. Not only his good looks but also his decent achievements. Such as the Olympic and several Superseries Premier
level tournaments.

Thus every time he plays in Indonesia, he always thanks to the Indonesian supporters who gave him support. However at the 2016 BCA Indonesia Open Superseries Premier, Lee and his partner may not
receive a support from the Senayan crowd.

It is because they will take on an Indonesian pair in the next round. They are Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo.

However, Lee hopes he will not be overshadowed by the home pair. He still hopes he will get a proper amount of support from the crowd.

"I am always happy to play here and I thank to the supporters. Although I will face an Indonesian pair tomorrow, we expect fair support as well," Lee said.
