JAKARTA The women's doubles specialist, Apriyani Rahayu, focused on fixing her mentality ahead of appearing in three tournaments on a European tour that will take place over the next month.
Apriyani has not played a competitive tournament for approximately six months since she last appeared at the Paris Olympics from July 26 to August 11, 2024 in France.
The owner of the Olympic gold medal had to be sidelined for a long time due to injury and recovering after. Now he is starting to prepare himself to duel again on the field.
"The focus is mentally so that I can fight again on the field because I haven't played for almost six months. I try to wake up mentally every now and then when I want to start the match," said Apri.

Apriyani will take to the field with her co-star, Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti. They will start their journey in Europe from the Orleans Masters which takes place on March 4-9, 2025 in France.
Two other tournaments after that are the oldest events in the world of All England 2025 on 11-16 March 2025 in Birmingham, England, as well as the Swiss Open 2025 which will take place on 18-23 March 2025 in St. Jakobshalle, Switzerland.
Apriyani said that she is currently not haunted by injury trauma and her confidence has returned to normal. So, he hopes that it can be a good capital while in Europe later.
"With my confidence, it (traumatic) has been missed. I learned a lot, with myself, talked a lot with psychologists. Mentally, I'm already a fighter," he said.
The European tour series will later be used by the coaching team for the recommendations for the preparation of the Sudirman Cup 2025 squad which will take place from 27 April to 4 May 2025 in Xiamen, China.
