At the Yonex French Open 2026, two Indonesian women’s doubles pairs secured their places in the quarterfinals at the Arena Grand Paris on Thursday, October 22, 2026, as reported by PB Djarum. Following the earlier progression of Rachel Allessya Rose and Febi Setianingrum into the last eight, Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi and Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti joined them by overcoming Chinese Taipei’s Lin Chih-Chun and Yang Chu Yun in straight games, 22-20, 21-8.

Overcoming a Slow Start in Paris

The pair known as Tiwi and Fadia had to handle a tense opening game before asserting control over the match. According to comments provided by the PP PBSI Humas and Media team, Tiwi noted that they initially fell into their opponents’ preferred rhythm.

Awal-awal sempat terlalu mengikuti pola lawan jadi mereka lebih enak dapat sambungan pukulannya. Setelah itu kami coba buat lebih sabar lagi, buat lebih tenang, ternyata lebih baik dengan pola seperti itu dan kami lanjutkan sampai akhir, Tiwi explained to the PP PBSI media team, describing how increased patience shifted the momentum.

Fadia reflected on the psychological relief of reaching the quarterfinals after enduring opening-round exits in recent outings. She expressed gratitude for the turnaround while keeping her immediate focus fixed on the next challenge.

Stepping Up Against Top Seeds

The quarterfinal lineup brings a formidable test for the Indonesian duo. Top-seeded Japanese pair Yuki Fukushima and Mayu Matsumoto await them in the next round on Friday, October 23, 2026.

Historical data from previous encounters shows Tiwi and Fadia seeking their first victory against the Japanese veterans across two prior meetings. Fadia pointed out the physical and mental demands required to break that head-to-head deficit, noting that matches against Japanese pairs routinely extend into grueling rallies.

Besok sudah ditunggu unggulan pertama, kami harus menyiapkan pikiran untuk main capek dulu karena kan pasangan Jepang semuanya mainnya durasi ya, Fadia stated, adding that a previous meeting which pushed into a rubber game serves as useful tactical encouragement.

Broader Indonesian Campaign at Grand Paris Arena

The women’s doubles success forms part of a wider campaign for the Indonesian contingent at the BWF World Tour Super 750 event in France.

Other notable results across the tournament included Moh Zaki Ubaidillah defeating Japan’s Koki Watanabe 21-17, 21-14 in the men’s singles, and Alwi Farhan overcoming Hong Kong’s Ng Ka Long Angus 21-18, 21-17, as detailed by ANTARA News. Meanwhile, men’s doubles pairings Raymond Indra and Nikolaus Joaquin, alongside Leo Rolly Carnando and Daniel Marthin, also advanced following victories on Thursday.
