The two Indonesian top doubles will start their premier at the 2016 BIOSSP on Tuesday (31/5), today. Liliyana/Tontowi will start with facing players from 4th qualification. On the other hand, Praveen/Debby will take on unseeded China's Lu Kai/Huang Yagjong in the first round.
Should Owi/Butet win the match against the emerging fourth qualification, they will face Hong Kong's Tang Chun Man/Tse Ying Suet in the second round. If Praveen/Debby are having a smooth ride going through their first challenge. they will face the winner of the match played by Singaporean Yong Kai Terry Hee and the third qualification emerging winner.
To Owi/Butet, this becomes a proving ground for them to conquer the world famous Senayan. Since partnered with Owi in 2011, they never win a title at Indonesia Open Superseries Premier.
This 2016 tournament is a chance to prove their worth in front of their own public since they have collected many titles this year, such as three time All England champions,BWF World Championship 2013, and Asia Championship 2015.
