JAKARTA - The women's doubles pair, Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, are ready to meet their third seed, Kim So-yeong/Kong Hee-yong in the first round of the French Open 2024.

Apri/Fadia returned to the tournament after playing at the Indonesia Masters 2024 last month. They did not come as seeded and were immediately tested by the strong South Korean pair.

Apriyani said that even though they were not seeded, they were ready to fight. Moreover, on paper, Apri/Fadia won 2-0 over the pair Kim/Kong.

"We just beat the preparations. We know each other the pattern of the game. So, what should we prepare there, we must know before entering the field. So, we are ready to fight," he said.

The previous two Apri/Fadia victories over Kim/Kong all occurred last year, at the 2023 World Championships and Malaysia Open, respectively.

Apriyani was injured and missed several tournaments. However, he is now recovering and ready to give his best performance again.

"Actually superior or not, we are trying to play loose. So, nothing burdens us. Always be ready whether it is superior or not. We are ready to win," said Apri.

The French Open 2024 will take place on March 5-10, 2024. Apri/Fadia are one of two Indonesian women's doubles pairs that will appear in the tournament.

Another women's doubles is Meilysa Trias Puspitasari/Rachel Alllessya Rose. This pair will meet South Korea's second seed Baek Ha-na/Lee So-hee.
