JAKARTA Women's doubles Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti managed to secure tickets to the quarter-finals of the Orleans Masters 2025.
They qualified after defeating the Danish pair, Julie Finne-Ipsen/Mai Surow, two straight games 21-18 and 21-19 on Thursday, March 6, 2025, WIB night.
This is the first tournament to win the 2021 SEA Games gold medal after they last played together at the Paris Olympics in 2024.

Apri/Fadia are the second representatives of Indonesia to qualify for the last eight. They followed in the footsteps of the mixed doubles Rehan Naufal Kusaharjanto/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.
