Two out of the three Indians registered victories in their respective quarter-final matches on Day 4 of the Indonesia Open 2023. Both will play their semi-final matches on June 17 (Saturday) and will aim at winning a gold medal for their country.

In men's singles, Kidambi Srikanth lost to China's Li Shifeng 14-21, 21-14, 12-21. The Chinese shuttler won the first game, while Kidambi bounced back to win the second game and take the match into the decider.
However, Li Shifeng defeated the Indian shuttler 12-21 to win the final game as well as the match 2-1. HS Prannoy, on the other hand, defeated Japan's Kodai Naraoka in two straight games 18-21, and 16-21.
