Indonesian Open means no rest for Hong Kong's mixed doubles pair of Lee Chun-hei and Chau Hoi-wah
Local pair face Tontowi Ahmad and Liliyana Natsir in Jakarta just days after beating them in Sydney
Hong Kong shuttlers Lee Chun-hei and Chau Hoi-wah barely had time to enjoy their Australian Badminton Open mixed doubles success before being whisked away to Jakarta for the next Superseries tournament.
Lee and Chau returned home on Monday morning after winning their title on Sunday in Sydney and were back on a plane in the evening for the BCA Indonesia Open.
The Hong Kong pair have a tough task in the opening round today of the US$800,000 tournament against the Indonesian pair they beat in the Sydney semi-finals - third seeds and 2013 world champions Tontowi Ahmad and Liliyana Natsir.
It will be difficult to predict the result and all I can say is that Lee and Chau are enjoying a massive run at the moment and have the confidence against anyone
The Hong Kong duo had lost each of their previous meetings before Australia.
They broke their losing streak at the Australian Open before overcoming China's Liu Cheng and Bao Yixin in the final.
"It is, of course, hardly a favourable draw against the strong Indonesian pair," said head coach Tim He Yiming. "But since Lee and Chau are ranked outside the top 10, their draw won't be easy in the Superseries.
