JAKARTA - The Indonesian women's doubles sector is certain to have one ticket to the semifinals of the 2026 Indonesia Open after the pair of Rachel Allessya Rose/Febi Setianingrum also secured a ticket to the quarterfinals.

Rachel/Febi locked the eight-person ticket after fighting to win over the pair of Francesca Corbett/Jennie Gai from the United States in a three-game match 21-18, 17-21, and 21-13 lasting 57 minutes at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday, June 4, 2026, afternoon WIB.

"It's great to be able to continue on to the next round. In the second game we lost focus, but in the third game we were able to regain focus and confidence again," Rachel said in a press conference after the match.

This victory makes Rachel/Febi lead the record of winning-losing 2-0 over Francesca/Jennie. Another victory they got in a two-game match directly in the first round of the French Open in October 2025.

Rachel/Febi followed the steps of Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma/Meilysa Trias Puspitasari, who previously won three games also over the seventh seed from China Taipei, Hsieh Pei Shan/Hung En Tzu, with a score of 13-21, 21-17, and 21-15.

Unfortunately, one of them will fall in the quarterfinal tomorrow, June 5, 2026, because they will face each other directly. However, their meeting automatically ensures that one ticket for the women's doubles semifinals is already in Indonesia's hands.

"If from our target we want to be able to reach the semifinals. If possible, until the champion. We just want to focus one by one. If from the coach, we actually don't know what the target should be until what round," said Rachel.

The meeting in the Indonesian Open quarterfinal was the second competitive clash between Rachel/Febi and Febriana/Meilysa. Previously, Rachel/Febi came out as the winner when they met in the Australian Open final last year.

The women's doubles also managed to place the pair of Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti in the top eight. The pair qualified after defeating Yeung Nga Ting/Yeung Pui Lam from Hong Kong in a two-game match 21-19 and 21-18.

Unfortunately, the sweet journey of the three women's doubles was not followed by the mixed doubles of Adnan Maulana/Indah Cahya Sari Jamil and Amri Syahnawi/Nita Violina Marwah. Both pairs fell to the Chinese representatives.

Adnan/Indah suffered a defeat after giving the first-seeded Feng Yan Zhe/Huang Dong Ping a three-game fight with a final score of 14-21, 21-17, and 18-21, while Amri/Nita lost two games 17-21 and 9-21 against Guo Xin Wa/Chen Fang Hui.
