Indonesia Ensures One Title In Indonesia Masters II 2025
JAKARTA Indonesia memastikan satu gelar juara dari nomor ganda putri di turnamen bulu tangkis Super 100 Indonesia Masters II 2025. Dua wakil Merah Putih, Isyana Syahira Meida/Rinjani Kwinnara Nastine dan Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, berhasil menempuh ke partai puncak yang digelar di GOR PBSI Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara.
The young pair Isyana/Rinjani performed brilliantly in the semifinals by overthrowing Chinese representatives, Shu Liang/Li Hua Zhou, two straight games 21-15, 21-17. Despite being left behind at the start of the match, both of them were able to maintain focus and master the game until the end.
"We were left behind but focused on points by points. The opponent has big power, so we chose to play more calmly with short balls," said Isyana after the match. We are not fighting with power because they are stronger. Our focus is on managing the ball so that opponents have difficulty because their footprint is less agile.

Meanwhile, the seeded pair Apriyani/Fadia also confirmed the final ticket after eliminating the Japanese duet, Ririna tranoto/Kokona Ishikawa, through a three-game battle 21-16, 18-21, 21-17. Apriyani assessed that communication was the key to their victory.
"Alhamdulillah, we won thanks to good communication between me, Fadia, and the coach," said Apriyani. The second game we lost the wind so we were depressed, but in the third game the position sided with us. We used it to keep attacking.
Fadia added that the strategy given by the coach helped them overcome the pressure when the position lost by the wind. "We focused on taking points one by one, opening the defense first, and staying consistent. Finally, the opponent made a lot of mistakes himself," he said.
With this result, Indonesia is certain to bring home one title from the women's doubles number. This final match between fellow representatives of the country will be a place to prove a new generation against the Indonesian elite pair on the international stage.
