JAKARTA - The women's doubles Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti managed to advance to the semifinals of the 2026 German Open to keep Indonesia's hopes of winning the title from the competition alive. The last four were stepped on by Amallia/Fadia after stopping the pair of Lui Lok Lok/Tsang Hiu Yan from Hong Kong in a two-game match directly 21-15, 21-14 at the Westenergie Sporthalle on Friday, 27 February WIB evening. "The key to victory today, in my opinion, is to play more safely, not to have to force it too much or play high-risk. Most importantly, we can keep the momentum and stay solid on the court," said Amallia in a statement. Amallia/Fadia will next face the pair of Li Yi Jing/Wang Yi Duo. The Chinese women's doubles qualified for the semifinals after defeating the fifth seed Kaho Osawa/Mai Tanabe from Japan. Previously, Amallia/Fadia had stopped Li Yi Jing in the final of the 2026 BWF Super 300 Thailand Masters earlier this month. At that time, Li, who was still playing with Bao Li Jing, forced the match to take place in three games. "We already know enough about Li Yi Jing's playing patterns even with a different pair. The chances will not be much different. So, we have to be more prepared especially at the beginning of the match," said Fadia.
The semifinal round was also stepped on by mixed doubles player Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja. The former resident of the PBSI Cipayung Pelatnas competed in this tournament with Singaporean player Hee Yong Kai Terry. They continued their journey to the top four after defeating Malaysia's fifth seed Goh Sun Huat/Lai Shevon Jemie in a two-game match 21-17 and 21-13. The eighth seeded pair from Denmark, Mads Vestergaard/Christine Busch, will be their next test. Mads/Christine passed after defeating the pair of Alexander Dunn/Julie Macpherson from Scotland.
