This pair is also one of three Indonesian representatives who made their debut matches at All England. The other two are Putri Kusuma Wardani and Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.
"The first All England for us is quite impressive. Especially with the gray field carpet, it has become an interesting experience. From an atmosphere it is also very different," said Amalia.
In the second round, Febriana/Amallia will receive a tough test. The reason is, they met with the sixth seed from Japan, Yuki Fukushima/Mayu Matsumoto.
Apart from Febriana/Amallia, the women's doubles sector also has Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti. This is Apri/Fadia's second tournament after last playing at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
