Bobby/Melati Dominate Thailand Open Qualification with Decisive Victory

Indonesian mixed doubles duo Bobby Setiabudi and Melati Daeva Oktavianti delivered an outstanding performance in the Thailand Open 2025 qualification round at Nimibutr Stadium, Patumwan — dismantling local opponents with sheer dominance.

The world number 74-ranked pair faced Thai representatives Kitipat Karnnithiwat and Kraita Nakthongtip, securing an emphatic win in just 22 minutes with the scores 21-10, 21-11.

Rapid Start and Relentless Attack Seal the Match

Bobby/Melati took early control, claiming two quick points. Despite a brief resistance from the Thai duo, the Indonesians responded with a stunning run of eight straight points, leading 11-2 at the first game interval — and never looking back.

The victory moves Bobby/Melati one step closer to the main draw of the BWF Super 500 tournament. They now require just one more win to secure qualification for the next phase.
