One of the important notes was fixed on the Indonesian women’s doubles, Apriyani Rahayu / Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti. According to him, Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva’s play was easy to read at the 2022 BWF World Tour Finals.

However, Rionny Mainaky believes that Siti Fadia must be able to have good stamina to match Apriyani Rahayu’s game. He explained that Apriyani Rahayu could get good results because she could match Greysia Polii, so Siti Fadia also had to be able to do the same.

“Especially Fadia must have the endurance to play long, play rallies. In the past, Apri could keep up with Greysia (Polii) playing like that. Now Fadia has to keep up with Apri,” he concluded.
