00:00Hendra Setiawat, the national goalkeeper, announced that he would hang the racket through a post on his Instagram account on the 3rd of December.
00:21The announcement became a scandal because of the record of the athlete from Central Java, who is very arrogant.

00:38the World Championship, to winning the 2008 Beijing Olympic gold medal with Almahrum Marquis Guido.
00:45The only trophy he has never lifted is from the Sudirman Cup mixed doubles championship.
00:52When he was found on the side of the agenda of the BBSI 2024 tournament in Jakarta on Thursday, November 5,
00:58the athlete, who is now 40 years old, explained the reason for his retirement from the 10-time world championship.
01:06Actually, since October, but I'm not sure. Maybe after the last tournament.
01:19Then I thought, this year the results are not good, only one final.
01:27So that's one of the things that made me decide to stop. Besides, I'm already this old.
01:39Hendra, who is now still in a relationship with Mohamed Ahsan, will retire next year.
01:44With the BWF Super 500 Indonesia Masters 2025 tournament as its closing event in Burutanggis.
