Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti confirmed to appear at the Indonesia Masters 2024 on January 23-28 at Istora Gelora Bung Karno. This decision was taken after discussing with the coach.
Apriyani/Fadia previously missed two tournaments at the start of this year (Malaysia Open and India Open 2024). This happened because Apriyani had to recover after suffering a calf injury while appearing at the 2023 BWF World Tour Finals (WTF) last December.
Inevitably, rumors circulated stating that the world number nine pair would not be able to appear at the Indonesia Masters 2024. However, Apriyani decided to play and this decision was only taken last weekend.
“We took this decision (to appear at the Indonesia Masters) just last Friday, after discussions with Fadia and the coach. There were things that made me go up and play,” explained the former Greysia Polii duet, Monday (22/1/2024) .
Missing two big tournaments at the start of the year was clearly a loss for Apriyani/Fadia. However, they emphasized that everything had been taken into account.
However, the 2023 Hong Kong Open champion actually has no intention of making a comeback at the 2024 Indonesia Masters because his plan is to just start playing on the European Tour. As a result, they didn’t think about points while appearing at Istora Senayan this week.
“Obviously, we have already calculated the points for the two absent tournaments. Here we have to be in the final and win to secure our position. Actually, we intend to play at the All England first. Even if I didn’t have an injury yesterday, there are things that have to be done, maybe we won’t either. “We want to rush with points too. The important thing is we just want to achieve the target, points later,” concluded Apriyani.
