JAKARTA - In the first match of the final round of the Spain Masters 2021, Indonesia won the women's doubles title after Yulfira Barkah/Febby Valencia Dwijayanti Gani defeated Amalie Magelund/Freja Ravn in straight games 21-16, 21-14.

Yulfira/Febby's victory over the Danish first seed followed in the footsteps of Greysia Polii/ Apriyani Rahayu who carried last year's edition of the title.

"First alhamdulillah we can champion. We didn't expect it, because this is only my second match with Febby," Yulfira said in the official pbsi release.

"Grateful to be a champion. We are very happy and happy. But we don't want to be satisfied just yet, the journey is still very long ahead. We want to continue to grow and be more solid," Febby added.

Alluding to the final match, Yulfira/Febby admitted the key to his victory was to play calmly and pursue point by point.

"We were just playing safe and focused, not making our own mistakes. And don't want to think about winning or losing. We know they (European athletes) don't feel at home when they're invited to rally. So we hold on," Febby said.

The Red and White squad is also certain to take home one title from the men's doubles sector, with the "All Indonesian Final" match between Pramudya Kusumawardana/Jeremiah Erich Yoche Yacob Rambitan and Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Moh. Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.
