JAKARTA Indonesia is certain to no longer have representatives at the 2025 Malaysia Masters after the women's doubles pair Apriyani Rahayu/Febi Setianingrum is confirmed to be eliminated.
Apri/Febi became Indonesia's last representative to return from the event due to losing against the first seed from China, Liu Sheng Shu/Tan Ning, in the rubber game 21-12, 7-21, 9-21 on Saturday, May 24, 2025.
In that match, Apri / Febi actually appeared strong in the first game. They scored three points in a row and continued to lead until they won.
Unfortunately, in the next two games their performance worsened. They only played tight in the early games and couldn't make it difficult for the opponent afterward.
"From the match, there are indeed several things that must be learned and evaluated. We do not forget to be grateful for today's results, we can arrive in the semifinals," said Apri.
This is the furthest journey Apri / Febi have made since they were paired by the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) at Taipei Open 2025. At that time their journey ran aground in the second half.
