Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto (born 28 February 2000) is an Indonesian badminton player affiliated with Djarum club.[1] He won the mixed doubles and men's team gold medals in 2023 SEA Games.

Early life

His father Tri Kusharjanto, is an Olympic silver medalist in badminton in 2000, and his mother Sri Untari, was an Asian Champion in 1992. He started practicing badminton with his father at the age of 5, and joined the Djarum club in 2013.[1][2] He was the champion at the 2016 Asian U-17 Junior Championships in the boys' doubles event partnered with Haffiz Nur Adila,[3] and in 2017, he clinched the mixed doubles title at the Asian Junior Championships with Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti.[4] He was also a two-times mixed doubles World Junior Championship silver medalists in 2017 and 2018 with Ramadhanti.[5][6]

Senior career

2022

In March, Kusharjanto and his partner Lisa Ayu Kusumawati reached their first BWF World Tour final in the Orléans Masters, but lost to Singaporean pair Terry Hee and Tan Wei Han.[7] This year, they debuted at the BWF World Championships. In October, they reached another final in the Vietnam Open but lost to fellow Indonesians Dejan Ferdinansyah and Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.[8] They also reached the semi-finals of the French Open, but lost to Dutch pair Robin Tabeling and Selena Piek.[9] In November, they claimed their first ever BWF World Tour title at the Hylo Open by defeating Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping in the final in straight games.[10] Their progress, particularly their victory at the Hylo Open, led them to break through the world top 20 in mixed doubles.[11]

2023

In the beginning of the 2023 season, Kusharjanto with his partner Kusumawati suffered a fourth consecutive early exit. They lost in the second round of the Malaysia Open,[12] India Open,[13] Thailand Masters,[14] and in the first round of the Indonesia Masters.[15] He then was called up to the Indonesian team for the Asia Mixed Team Championships, but the teams lost in the quarter-finals from South Korea.[16] In March–April, Kusharjanto and Kusumawati reached the semi-finals in the All England Open and Orléans Masters,[17][18] and also reached the quarter-finals in the Spain Masters.[19] In Europe tour, they only suffered an early exits in the Swiss Open.[20] He and his partner competed competed at the Asian Championships in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, but had to retire in the first round due to injury he suffered before the tournament begin.[21] Kusharjanto made his debut at the SEA Games in Cambodia, and won the gold medals in the mixed doubles and team events.[22][23] He and his father, Tri Kusharjanto, are the first parent-child pair who won SEA Games badminton gold medal.[24]

Kusharjanto and Kusumawati then suffered a sixth consecutive early exit, stopped in the second round of the Malaysia Masters,[25] Indonesia Open,[26] and Taipei Open,[27] and also in the first round of the Singapore Open,[28] 2023 Japan Open,[29] and Australian Open.[30] In his second appearance at the World Championships, he and his partner lost in the third round from 2nd seed Japanese pair Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino in straight games.[31] The inconsistency in performance shown by the pair of Kusharjanto and Kusumawati continued into the China and Hong Kong Opens, where the pair again failed in the early rounds.[32][33] Indonesian badminton fans then criticized Kusharjanto's posture which looked too fat, disproportionate like an athlete. Indonesia's mixed doubles coach, Herry IP, confirmed this;[34] However, the Indonesian national team nutritionist, Paulina Toding, stated that Kusharjanto's fat mass index was normal close to the upper limit.[32]

Kusharjanto made his debut at the Asian Games in Hangzhou,[35] but unable to win any medals both in the mixed doubles and team events.[36][37]
