  • Muhammad Rifqi Fitriadi won the singles and doubles titles at the ITF M15 Wuning fourth-week tournament in China, completing the best performance of his four-week campaign.
  • The double-title success gives Rifqi strong momentum ahead of the 2026 Asian Games, where he is expected to strengthen Indonesia's tennis campaign.

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Indonesian tennis player Muhammad Rifqi Fitriadi capped a breakthrough week in China by sweeping both the singles and doubles titles at the ITF M15 Wuning fourth‑week tournament, underscoring his growing consistency on the international stage.

In singles, the second seed clinched victory on Sunday, July 19, 2026, by defeating South Korea’s third seed Hoyoung Roh 6–4, 6–3 in the final. Rifqi controlled the match from the outset, securing the opening set before pressing Roh into errors in the second to seal the championship, Antara reported.

A day earlier, Rifqi had already lifted the doubles trophy alongside Armenian partner Daniil Sarksian. The top‑seeded duo battled through a tense encounter against Taiwan’s fourth seeds Hsieh Cheng‑Peng/Lai Chuan‑Kai, rallying from a first‑set tiebreak loss to win 6–7(7), 7–6(5), 12–10.

The double triumph marked Rifqi’s best performance across four consecutive weeks at Wuning. In earlier rounds of the circuit, he had finished runner‑up in doubles with South Korea’s Duckhee Lee and exited in the singles quarterfinals against Sweden’s Arvid Nordquist.

This latest success continues Rifqi’s positive momentum. Just weeks earlier, he ended a three‑year wait for another ITF singles crown by winning the second leg of the same Wuning series. His singles victory this week now stands as his third career ITF title, following his maiden win at the ITF M15 Jakarta in 2023.

For the 27‑year‑old, the achievement serves as a timely boost ahead of his next major assignment: representing Indonesia at the Asian Games 2026 in Aichi‑Nagoya, Japan. ***
