In the semi-finals of the 2025 Sudirman Cup, Indonesia only dominates in the men's singles, and South Korea is favored to reach the final

According to the lineup of South Korea and Indonesia in the semi-finals of the 2025 Sudirman Cup Badminton Mixed Team Competition, South Korea has a better chance of winning in the remaining four events except for men's singles. South Korea, as a four-time champion, and Indonesia, which won the championship once, met in the semifinals of the Soviet Cup on the afternoon of the 3rd, and according to the arrangement of the two teams in this battle, it is expected that South Korea has a slightly higher probability of advancing to the final. The winner between the two teams will face the host Chinese team in the final on the 4th.

In the first Mixed Doubles, South Korea faced world champions Seo Seung Jae and Choi Yoo Hyun against Indonesia's Dejan and Siti Fatiya, predicting that South Korea would take the lead. Xu Cai joined forces again after September, and the tacit understanding is still the same. Seo Seung-jae and Choi Yoo-hyun have not teamed up since they lost the mixed doubles third-place match at last year's Paris Olympics, and Seo Seung-jae no longer competes and only focuses on men's doubles.

Until the final round of the group stage of this tournament, Seo Seung-jae and Tsai Yoo-hyun teamed up again in South Korea against Chinese Taipei, and they successfully grabbed points for the team. After that, the two played again against Denmark in the quarterfinals and won again, showing that the tacit understanding and competitiveness of the two partners again after 9 months.

And today, Seo Seung-jae and Choi Yoo-hyun are playing again, which shows that the Korean team attaches great importance to them, and it also proves that they are the most consistent mixed doubles pair in the team that can grab points. Dejan and Sitifadia have had a poor year, competing together in five events, four of which ended in the first two rounds.

Alvi Farhan is expected to steal points for Indonesia in the men's singles

Indonesia only dominates the men's singles. In the second men's singles, South Korea faced Indonesia's world No. 33 Alvi Fahan against world No. 141 Cho Jian Ye, and Indonesia is expected to win this match.

The third Women's Singles match was the most suspenseful, as South Korea's world No. 1 world champion and Olympic champion Ahn Se Young had little problem beating Indonesia's world No. 11 Boutli, who had won all four of their previous meetings.

Xu Jin carries the dual responsibilities of men. In the next 4th men's doubles match, which is likely to determine the outcome of the match, Seo Seung-jae will play again with Kim Won-ho against Indonesia's Suyib and Bagas. Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho have won three titles together this year, including the All England Championships, so in terms of form, they have a high probability of winning. If the match drags on to the final women's doubles, South Korea's world No. 3 "Li Bai Pair" Lee So Hee and Baek Ha Na will face Indonesia's temporary pair of Amalia and Sidi Fatiya, and in terms of strength, Li Bai has a better chance of winning.

As the strongest women's singles in the world, An Xiying has won all of her 3 appearances in this year's Su Cup so far without surprise

South Korea defeated Denmark 3-1 in the quarterfinals on the 2nd, and the only thing that lost points was the weakest link in the men's singles, Jeon Yi Chan lost to the world's No. 3 Antonsen, but it was not a big problem, South Korea was firmly grabbed by Seo Seung-jae and Choi Yoo-hyeon, Ahn Se-young and Lee So-hee and Baek Ha-na in the mixed doubles, women's singles and women's doubles.

Indonesia also beat Thailand 3-1 in the quarter-finals, with Dechapo and Subisara beating Rinov and Gloria in the first mixed doubles match, but Indonesia then relied on Butli, Men's Singles Jonatan and Women's Doubles Siti Fatiya and Lanni to win the match. Among them, world No. 6 Jonatan defeated Thailand's new Asian champion, world champion and Olympic silver medallist Kunlavut to win his eighth of 12 meetings between the two sides.
