Rinov/Pitha Fall in Singapore Open after Loss to Scottish Pair

Indonesian mixed doubles pair, Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari, bowed out early at the Singapore Open 2025, following a straight-game defeat to Scottish pair, Alexander Dunn/Julie Macpherson at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Wednesday (28/5).

Straight-Game Loss Despite Promising Starts

The 2017 junior world champions Rinov/Pitha lost with a scoreline of 16-21, 17-21, unable to keep up with the relentless pace of the Scots.

Despite leading in both games — 6-4 to 9-8 in the first and 3-1 to 5-3 in the second — the Indonesian duo failed to maintain momentum.
