JAKARTA - The pair Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti made a good comeback to qualify for the second round or the last 16 of the 2023 China Open.

The owner of the 2021 SEA Game gold medal stopped eighth seed Jongkolphan Kititharakul/Rawinda Prajongjai rubber games 17-21, 21-12, and 21-19 at the Olympic Sport Center Gymnasium, Wednesday, September 6, 2023.

Apri/Fadia took 80 minutes after losing in the first game to extend their trip at the BWF Super 1000 level event.

Apart from Apriyani/Fadia, the second half ticket was also secured by the men's doubles Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Rambitan. This pair defeated the Japanese representative, Ayamo Endo/Yuta Takei.

Pram/Yere will next meet their colleague Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, who defeated second seed Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty.

"We have met many times in official matches, we also practice together every day so we both know each other's strengths and weaknesses," said Pram.

Tomorrow's meeting will be the fourth official clash between the two pairs from the PBSI Cipayung national training camp (Pelatnas). At three meetings before the China Open, Bagas/Fikri led a 2-1 win-loss record.

Bagas/Fikri's two wins each occurred in the last two meetings, namely at the All England 2022 and Korea Open the same year. Meanwhile, one Pram/Yere victory occurred in Belgium International 2021.

Meanwhile, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting stopped his steps in the first round. He lost to representatives of Japan, Kanta Tsuyenama, in a three-game match, 11-21, 21-18 and 17-21.
