JAKARTA The quarter-finals of the Singapore Open 2024 are the furthest steps that can be achieved by the women's doubles pair Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti.
The 2021 SEA Games gold medalist gave the rubber game resistance during the duel against the Japanese pair, Namibia Matsuyama/Chiharu Shida, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, Friday, May 31, 2024, evening WIB. However, it ran aground through the semifinals.
They lost badly in the first game before rising and dominating the match in the second game. Unfortunately, in the third game they were again helpless and ended the match with a final score of 10-21, 21-13, and 10-21.
Apri/Fadia's defeat automatically made Indonesia's women's doubles number run out in this tournament. This pair is the only women's doubles representative to be sent by PBSI to this event.
