JAKARTA Badminton player who specializes in women's doubles, Apriyani Rahayu, admits that currently her body is not really 100 percent after recovering from injury.

This was conveyed by Apriyani after being with her partner Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti losing against South Korean pair Baek Ha Na/Lee So Hee in the semifinals of the 2024 Uber Cup.

"I admit that my physical condition has not returned 100 percent and that was felt earlier," said Apriyani in a statement received.

Unso fit after the injury at the 2023 Asian Games, Apri had to miss his partner in several tournaments earlier this year.

In January, the two tournaments they had to miss were Malaysia and the India Open to maximize the recovery that Apriyani is currently undergoing.

In addition, the couple also missed the Asian Badminton Championship (BAC) tournament which took place in early April.

In the Uber Cup quarter-finals, last Friday, Apri/Fadia also appeared and contributed points when Indonesia successfully won 3-0 against Thailand.

Apri admits that he still has to improve after losing against Baek/Lee. Because the injury problem made him unable to restore his best performance.

"Today I do have to increase the consistency of his strokes, thoughts and mentality again," said Apri.

The semifinals are targets carried out by Apri and his friends at the Uber Cup this year. This is the first time Indonesia has qualified for the semifinals of the women's team event after 14 years of not feeling it.

The defeat of Apri/Fadia made Indonesia and Korea draw 1-1 temporarily. At the time of writing, the semifinal match between the two countries was still ongoing.
