The Sweet Beginning Of Lanny/Fadia At The Indonesia International Challenge 2024
JAKARTA - The couple Lanny Tria Mayasari/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti won their debut as a new pair at the Indonesia International Challenge 2024.
They stopped Thailand's women's doubles, Pichamon Phatcharaphisutsin/Nannapas Sukklad, with a score of 21-14 and 21-11 at East Java Expo, Surabaya, East Java, on Thursday, October 24, 2024, evening WIB.
This victory made Lanny/Fadia, who got an empty draw in the first half, stepped into the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Fadia said that as newly united couples, they are still trying to adapt to each other even though they can immediately perform well and be united.
"We try to understand each other in the field when the rotation survives to attack. We have prepared each other in training," said Fadia.

Fadia previously played with Apriyani Rahayu. However, the two have not appeared in competitive events since playing their last match at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Meanwhile, Lanny was previously recorded playing with Rachel Alllessya Rose. The two of them were still together when they performed at the China Taipei Open 2024 in September 2024.
Lanny revealed that there are still targets that he and Fadia carry even though they have just secured their first win as a couple.
"Of course we want to focus on each round first and don't want to lose focus," said Lanny.
Lanny/Fadia are one of five Indonesian women's doubles pairs that reached the quarter-finals. Of that number, two of them will meet directly so that Indonesia automatically has one semifinal ticket from this number.
The two Indonesian women's doubles pairs that will face each other in the quarter-finals are Ridya Aulia Fatasya/Anisaya Kamila and Siti Sarah Azzahra/Agnia Sri Rahayu.
The other two tickets were secured by Isyana Syahira Meida/Rinjani Kwinara Nastine and Arlya Nabila Thesa Manggaran/Az Zahra Ditya Ramadhani.
