Apriyani Fadia Make a Sweet Comeback at the Indonesia Masters, Winning the Title After a Period of Absence


Tangerang- The Indonesian women's doubles pair, Apriyani Rahayu and Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, once again captured public attention after winning the 2025 Indonesia Masters held at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Sunday (January 12th). In the final match, which lasted nearly an hour, they defeated the Japanese pair in a thrilling three-game match. This victory feels special because it's their first title after missing several tournaments due to Fadia's injury at the end of last year.

From the start of the match, Apriyani and Fadia played confidently in front of thousands of supporters who filled the Istora. The unwavering support of the fans chanting "Indonesia!" provided additional energy for both of them. Despite falling behind in the second game, they were able to bounce back thru a more patient strategy and mature ball placement. Apriyani's experience as an Olympic gold medalist was evident as she remained calm in critical moments, while Fadia demonstrated mental toughness by bravely taking the initiative in attacks.

For Apriyani and Fadia, this victory is not just about the title. It's proof that their hard work during recovery was not in vain. Fadia admitted that she was initially afraid she wouldn't be able to return to her best form after the injury. However, the support of the coaching staff, family, and teammates kept him going. We just want to enjoy the game and fight together. "This title is like a gift for everyone who believed in us," said Fadia after the match.

Eng Hian, the women's doubles coach for the PBSI national training center, believes this pair still has a great chance to continue improving. According to him, their coordination and communication on the field are becoming more mature. Additionally, a home victory provides an extra boost of confidence heading into the next major tournaments. He emphasized that the team's current focus is on maintaining consistency and player fitness.

For the audience, Apriyani/Fadia's victory was not just an achievement. This is a story about resilience, patience, and the commitment to keep getting back up even after falling. The cheers echoing thru the Istora were a testament to the fact that sports always have an emotional side capable of touching many hearts.
