JAKARTA - Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi's women's doubles ran aground in the second round of All England 2025 after losing against sixth seed Japan, Yuki Fukushima/Mayu Matsumoto.
The world number eight pair lifted their suitcases after suffering the defeat of rubber games 12-21, 21-19, and 16-21 at Utilita Arena, Birmingham, England, on Thursday, March 13, 2025.
"We feel we have played quite well, but there are several moments we are not patient, rushed to kill. In fact, the opponent has a strong defense," said Amalia.
Febriana/Amallia started the first game badly. They secured the first point, but after that it was difficult to stem the opponent's figure.
In the second game, the Japanese pair immediately scored five consecutive points to suppress Febriana/Amallia. The momentum was then obtained by the Indonesian representatives at the final points.

The Japanese pair started the third game again well, scoring six consecutive points. Febriana/Amallia then got up, but they played tight up to intervals only.
"We have to keep fighting, no matter how long we miss it. That's what we were trying to do earlier. We communicated, supported each other and reminded each other. Focused on what patterns to play," said Febriana.
Currently, Indonesia has lost five representatives from this Super 1000 level tournament. Apart from Febriana/Amallia, today the defeat was also suffered by Putri Kusuma Wardani who met Chen Yufei from China.
Previously, Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo's men's singles had already lifted the suitcase in the first half.
Then, Jonathan Christie also failed to continue his journey to the quarter-finals and it was confirmed that he could not defend the title.
As for the women's doubles, there is no hope. Apriyani Rahayu Siti/Fadia Silva Ramadhanti also died in the round of 16 against the Malaysian pair.
