Muhammad S Fikri: “It still feels like a dream. If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up. We had difficult days last year, this year we want to bounce back. Hopefully, this will be a good start for us.”
All England debutants Bagas Maulana and Muhammad S Fikri booked their place in the All England final after defeating world no. 1s Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Marcus Gideon yesterday in the semi-finals.
