JAKARTA - Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva managed to advance to the semifinals of the Singapore Open 2022 after crushing representatives of Japan, Sayaka Hobara/Hinata Suzuki. Unfortunately Gregoria Mariska Tunjung fell.

In the quarter-finals meeting at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, Friday 15 July, Apriyani/Fadia only needed 27 minutes to win. They ensured a ticket to the semifinals through straight games which ended 21-14 and 21-12.

The air of Apriyani/Fadia's victory was felt from the start of the first game points. This is because they are able to secure points and continue to stay away without being overtaken.

Apriyani/Fadia excelled in the first interval with a score of 11-3, the distance of eight points that became the separator could not be caught by Sayaka/Hinata. The situation was increasingly in favor of Apriyani/Fadia, who became increasingly crazed by making the distance further and eventually winning 21-14.

In the second game, the Chinese representatives tried to turn things around, but their efforts did not go smoothly. Although they had equalized the acquisition of Apriyani/Fadia on the second point, they were again left behind in the second interval with a score of 5-11.

Winning in one and a half games, Apriyani/Fadia are increasingly confident in showing their strength. After the break, their performances got better and better and finally secured a 21-12 victory.

Meanwhile, Gregoria lost against China's representative, Wang Zhiyi. He surrendered 17-21 and 18-21 to his opponent.
