Atu grabs Jakarta Open title

JAKARTA (JP): National second-tier shuttler Atu Rosalina won the women's singles title in the Jakarta Open Satellite Championships at the Bung Karno Sports Complex on Saturday.

Atu crushed Malaysian Ng Mee Fen's dream of taking home the title after winning convincingly 11-5, 11-1.

Compatriots Ernita and Yunita also squashed Malaysian pair Amin Norhasikin and Wong Pei Tty 15-3, 15-17, 15-7 to grab the women's doubles title.

Wiempi Mahardi, a member of the Indonesian Badminton Center, failed to show off his skills and bowed out to Aditya Sindoro of Djarum Kudus club 15-11, 15-10.

Men's doubles partners Karel Mainaky and Davis Efraim, who have both been expelled from the center, had to work hard to overpower Andreas and Ade Lukas of Jakarta 10-15, 15-11, 15-12.

In an all-center mixed doubles final, Hendra AG and Lita Nuralita defeated Alven and Yunita 15-11, 17-14. (yan)
