2024 Junior World Championships: Women's Doubles Still Utuh

JAKARTA Three Indonesian women's doubles pairs who played in the 2024 Junior World Championships are still intact. All of them compactly reached the third round of the tournament.

The three pairs in question are Isyana Syahira Meida/Rinjani Kwinara Nastine, Riska Anggraini/Salasbila Zahra Aulia, and Ardita Anjani/Titis Maulida Rahma.

Isyana/Rinjani qualified after winning easily two games 21-3 and 21-3 over the Tereapi Akavi/Te Pa O Te Rangi Tupa pair from the Cook Islands at the Nanchang International Sports Center Gymnasium, China, on Tuesday, October 8, 2024.

The second seeded pair will then meet the representative of China Taipei, Jheng Yu Chieh/Yu Yun Wang, on Wednesday, October 9, 2024.

"For tomorrow, we must be able to get everything out. We must not underestimate (the opponent) and (must) maintain enthusiasm," said Rinjani in a statement received from PBSI.

In addition to technical factors, non-technical factors will also be of concern to Isyana/Rinjani during the face of this individual number Junior World Championship.

One of them is trying to maintain health due to the uncertain weather of Nanchang. One day it can be hot, the other day it rains with strong winds.

"So, as much as possible we don't go out of the hotel much to keep the body in shape. In addition, vitamins and supplements from doctors must be taken regularly," said Rinjani.

Before Isyana/Rinjani, Riska/Salsa had already confirmed the ticket to the round of 32. Riska/Salsa stopped the 14th seeded resistance from Slovenia, Anja Blazarina/Ariana Korent, with straight games 21-14 and 21-13.

The women's doubles perfectness was closed by the Ardita/Titis pair, who beat the Polish pair, Alicja Syrek/Kaja Ziolkowska, with a score of 21-14 and 21-8.

Riska/Salsa will next meet Vietnam's women's doubles, Bui Bich Phuong/Tran Thi Anh. Meanwhile, Ardita/Titis will be tested by representatives of New Zealand, Yanxi Liu/Josephine Zhao.
