JAKARTA – The women’s doubles Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi/Siti Fadia Silva managed to secure a ticket to the second round of the 2026 Indonesia Open. They sent home the third-seeded Baek Ha-na/Lee So-hee from South Korea (South Korea).
Amallia/Fadia secured a ticket to survive in the tournament after playing a three-game match for 68 minutes which ended with a score of 21-13, 17-21, and 21-14 at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, afternoon WIB.
“This match is not easy, it’s quite hard. This is our third meeting with them. We have the capital of victory before. So, the key to our victory is communication and mutual trust,” said Fadia after the match.
Amallia/Fadia dominated the first game and fought hard in the other two games. They lost two points in the first game, but after the 5-5 tie, the opponent pair was not given any chance to get closer.
In the second game, Amallia/Fadia also bounced back from the deficit to lead 2-1, but Baek/Lee responded with five consecutive points and continued to lead until the interval. The Indonesian pair managed to tie the score at 15-15, but it was in vain.
The beginning of the third game was also not easy for Amallia/Fadia. They were five points behind with a score of 4-9 before scoring seven consecutive points to take the lead at the break. The opponent pair then cut the gap to one point, but Amallia/Fadia continued to gas.
“The audience was amazing. At the beginning of the third game we were behind, but the audience still supported us, still noisy. That’s one of our strong assets for motivation and finally being able to win,” said Fadia.
This latest result makes Amallia/Fadia now ahead of the 2-1 win-loss record over the world number three pair. Both victories were won this year, of which the other was when they met at the Asian Badminton Championship in early April 2026.
The women’s doubles total placed three representatives in the second round of the 2026 Indonesia Open from the five pairs that were relegated. The other two were the pair of Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma/Meilysa Trias Puspitasari and Rachel Allessya Rose/Febi Setianingrum.
Meanwhile, the two pairs who had to bury their dreams early in this BWF Super 1000 level event were Isyana Syahira Meida/Rinjani Kwinnara Nastine and Lanny Tria Mayasari/Apriyani Rahayu.
