The Indonesian women’s doubles badminton coach, Eng Hian, looks happy when he is met by the media at the PBSI National Training Center, Cipayung, East Jakarta, October 5, 2022.
BOLASPORT.COM – The women’s doubles coach, Eng Hian, opened up about the selection of Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti who eventually became Apriyani Rahayu’s partner.
Apriyani Rahayu who was left by Greysia Polii retired to get a new tandem chosen by Eng Hian.
The figure is Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti who is Ribka Sugiarto’s former partner in the women’s doubles.
Their first appearance was then at the 2021 SEA Games which took place in Vietnam last April.
Unexpectedly, Apriyani/Fadia shot up to the final against the world number 20 pair, Benyapa Aimsaard/Nuntakarn Aimsaard (Thailand).

After being perfect in their first appearance, Apriyani/Fadia’s steps again reaped positive results when they took part in the Indonesia Masters event in Jakarta last May.
This time they came out as runners up after their steps were stopped in the final by the Chinese pair, Chen Qing Chen / Jia Yi Fan.
