"Praise Allah, [Allah] has given me the title. I was exhausted, the
fans supports kept me going on," Ahsan said.
The USD 55,300 prize money, (553 million IDR) is brought home by the
pair. That is not a little amount for both of them. Moreover, they
just won at the Malaysia Open 2013 in last January.

mother's womb, Christina. The victory is also dedicated to all the
Indonesian people who have been supporting them.

have been amazingly supporting us," Harry stated representing his both
players.
