Indonesian men's doubles, Christopher Rungkat / Elbert Sie, failed to present points on a third party's Group I Davis Cup Asia-Oceania Zone 2013 Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan, Saturday (02/02/2013). As a result, Indonesia surrendered 0-3 from the host, who a day earlier had collected two points from a single number.

Despite losing, Christo / Elbert has given a very maximum resistance. They hardly offer one point for Indonesia against Tatsumo Ito / Yasutaka Uchiyama, who have ranked much higher. The couple who won the 2011 SEA Games gold medal is already time to lead 2-1, before finally succumbing in the final two sets.

Yes, after losing 4-6 in the opening set, Christo / Elbert won their next two sets with scores of 7-5, 6-2. But after that, Japanese couples can reverse the situation with a 5-7, 2-6, while ensuring Japan qualified for the second round of the men's team this interstate.

Team captain, Bonit Wiryawan, assess Christo / Elbert able to keep a game opponent who has a higher flight hours though ultimately failed to grasp victory. Because of that, he admitted quite satisfied with the performance of the country's best mate.

"I am quite satisfied with the boys game. Just a pity we could have won the game," said the former national athlete.

"We should be able to take advantage of the momentum (in four sets). Eventually we even turned around, losing 5-7," said Bonit, the situation after the Christo / Elbert superior.

Initially, Elbert will be paired with Ketut Nessa. But with a variety of considerations, a mainstay Christo finally back down, even though he was already playing in a single sector.

"Overall they're playing well, even though his opponent a higher ranking but they can offset even almost won. Hopefully in the future they are better," said Bonit.

Although he was defeated, Indonesia will still memainkana two single party on Sunday (3/2). Hopefully, Indonesia could win two points to reduce the gap.

Christo, ranking 252 world, which became the foundation of the team will meet top seed Japanese Go Soeda who has 67 world ranking. Meanwhile, if the plan has not changed, Vishnu being the second seed, will face Tatsumo Ito, 84 world ranking.

The second singles is quite heavy because Japanese single in the top 100 world. If any single Indonesia can win two, Japan will remain superior for having held the 3 points.

"We should take a lesson from this mistake that Japanese players pretty solid. So in the future, we must learn from this defeat, not just Elbert and Christo, but also other as a whole," added Bonit.
