RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Indonesian mixed doubles pair Amri Syahnawi and Nita Violina Marwah marked their All England debut with a convincing victory, securing a place in the round of 16. Competing in the round of 32 at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on Wednesday, the duo swept Germany’s Marvin Seidel and Thuc Phuong Nguyen in straight games, 21-17, 21-14.
“Alhamdulillah, it’s our first time playing at the All England and we managed to win. We were able to apply what we’ve trained, and I’m very happy,” Amri said in a statement released by the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI), as quoted by Antara.
Nita highlighted tactical adjustments as the key to their success. “We changed a lot in this match. I focused more on controlling the front court and avoided lifting because Seidel is strong in the air. We also tightened our defense, which made a big difference,” she explained.
Despite the pressure of competing in a prestigious BWF Super 1000 event, the pair showed composure. “I actually felt nervous last night during preparation, but from warm-up to stepping on court, I was grateful to feel calmer,” Amri added.
The victory also served as redemption for Amri/Nita, who had previously lost to Seidel/Nguyen in the quarterfinals of the Hylo Open 2025. ***
