Jakarta - Indonesian Team Manager at BCA Indonesia Open Super Series Premier 2014, Ricky Subagja, stated he was optimistic that his team can win titles from Mohamad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan in men's doubles, and Lilyana Natsir/Tontowi Ahmad in mixed doubles. Both are registered as BWF's world's number one in men's doubles and number two in mixed doubles.

The gold medalist along with Rexy Mainaky who has been expected as to win a title indeed belongs to a Super Series Premier level tournament.

"For our two doubles, their level are in Super Series Premier tournaments. So it is not possible to make semifinal as our target, we are confident we can win a title," Ricky Subagja stated after a press conference at Sultan Hotel Jakarta, Sunday (16/06/14).

Meanwhile, when being asked who the toughest opponents will be, Ricky said that all of them are equal. "Yes, every one of them is tough, Korea, Malaysia, Japan dan Europe, all of them are equally tough opponents."

Specifically for Lilyana Natsir/Tontowi Ahmad, their chance of winning a title is more widely open because of the absence of their arch rival Tiongkok Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei in this Indonesian Open.
