Gabriel/Serena eliminated in first round of US Open 2025

According to Bolasport.com, Indonesian mixed doubles pair Gabriel Christopher Wintan Wijaya/Serena Kani suffered a defeat in the first round of US Open 2025 at Mid-America Center, Iowa.

The independent pair had to acknowledge the superiority of tournament second seeds — Thai duo Ruttanapak Oupthong/Jhenica Sujdaipraparat who are ranked 18th in the world.

Gabriel/Serena — children of Indonesian badminton legends Candra Wijaya and Denny Kantono — struggled to develop their game from the start of the match.

The Indonesian representatives failed to anticipate Sudjaipraparat’s flat serves and lost dominance in the forecourt area. After leading 4-3, they fell behind 4-11 at the first interval and eventually surrendered with a score of 10-21.
