JAKARTA - Indonesian women's doubles player, Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, will undergo her first BWF Tour Finals event. She will take part in the 2022 BWF World Tour Finals with Apriyani Rahayu in Bangkok, Thailand, 7-11 December.

Even though it was her debut, Siti Fadia admitted that she did not feel burdened. Fadia said that she received a lot of input from Apri and coach Eng Hian to focus on the game and did not expect too high in the tournament at the end of the season.

"There is no such burden, at least only reminded by Kak Apri and the coach so they don't expect too high. Just give the best game so it doesn't become a burden on the mind," said Fadia in Jakarta, as reported by Antara, Saturday, December 3.

However, Fadia admits that he still feels a passionate passion to compete with the eight best women's doubles from all over the world at the 2022 World Tour Finals. So far, Fadia has only tried to hold back her feelings so as not to overdo it and maintain focus and mentality.

"There must be a passionate feeling to win, but yes, it is still being controlled again so that we can focus on every game," Fadia revealed.

Before qualifying as participants of the World Tour Finals, the Apri/Fadia pair decided to remain at the PBSI Cipayung National Training Center to undergo the 2023 season tournament preparation training program.

Luckily for the world number 14 pair, they accepted BWF's invitation to compete in the 2022 World Tour Finals after the resignation of one of the participating pairs.

Meanwhile, Apri did not give a special demand for Fadia to appear in the 2022 World Tour Finals. As a senior athlete, Apri was more experienced in the top tournament including the World Tour Finals when he was still paired with Greysia Polii.

"I won't give much advice or anything to Fadia. Let Fadia feel for herself how to appear there for the first time. Only those who must have the courage first not to lose," said Apri.
