BWF Ranking: Apri/Fadia Predicted To Be Thrown From The Top 10

JAKARTA - The Korea Open 2023 will be held on 18-23 July 2023. Ahead of the Super 500 tournament, Indonesia's women's doubles position, Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti actually experienced a decline on the BWF ranking list.

Quoted from its official website, BWF will release a world ranking update on Tuesday, July 18 tomorrow. Ahead of the update, Apriyani/Fadia's position is predicted to decline.

Indonesian women's doubles, which previously occupied the 10th ranked position in the world, is predicted to decline to 12th position. This makes Indonesia not have representatives in the top 10 in the world.

This happened because of their unsatisfactory performance in recent tournaments. In addition, the absence of Apriyani/Fadia at the Korea Open 2023 was also a factor that reduced their points.

The decline in points also cannot be separated from the deletion of points obtained by Apriyani/Fadia when winning the Singapore Open 2022. This is certainly a separate note for Apriyani/Fadia considering that they are the main pillars in the women's doubles.

Of the nine tournaments that have been participated, Apriyani/Fadia are still experiencing game inconsistencies. Unlike last year where Apriyani/Fadia were able to make three finals with two championship titles, in fact this year they actually had difficulties.

The pattern of the game that is easier for opponents to read makes Apriyani/Fadia often eliminated in the early rounds of the tournament that was followed. The best score so far recorded by Apriyani/Fadia is advancing to the last four of the Malaysia Open 2023 and Swiss Open 2023.

Meanwhile, for the Korea Open 2023 event, Indonesia did not field representatives in the women's doubles sector. The Garuda squad only sent nine representatives who will appear in the men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles.

The following is a list of Indonesian representatives at the Korea Open 2023:

Men's Singles: Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo

Women's Singles: Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, Putri Kusuma Wardani

Men's Doubles: Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto, Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin, Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Erich Yoche Yacob Rambitan, Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana
