Making their first appearance as a pair, Dejan/Fadia qualify for the top 16
Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Indonesian mixed doubles Dejan Ferdinansyah/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti successfully advanced to the last 16 of the India Open 2025 in their first appearance at the official championship, Wednesday (15/1/2025).
Playing at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex, New Delhi, Dejan/Fadia beat the Danish doubles, Mads Vestergaard/Christina Busch, 21-12 and 21-16. They won tickets to the next round of the BWF Super 750 level championship after fighting for 33 minutes.
“Indeed, we are a new couple, so we tried to focus on ourselves first so we could play together game planit’s already prepared. “It’s been going quite well but it’s still not firm,” said Dejan, who was previously paired with Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.
The Garut-born player also admitted that he continues to maintain communication so that he and Fadia can play comfortably.
In the last 16 of the India Open 2025, Dejan/Fadia will meet second seeds Jiang Zhen Bang/Wei Ya Xin. The Chinese doubles qualified after beating the British pair of brothers Gregory Mairs/Jenny Mairs with a score of 21-14, 21-16.
“In the second round we will meet the second seed. I have met them several times so I will communicate with Fadia about how to play. “We will try our best,” said Dejan again.
Meanwhile, Fadia admits that as a new partner, she has to communicate more with each other. “Dejan just has to be more chatty to remind me because I haven’t played mixed doubles for a long time,” he said, who previously played more often in women’s doubles with Apriyani Rahayu and Ribka Sugiarto.
“The pattern of play is very different. “In mixed doubles, I have to move my feet faster so that I can continue to look for gaps to start attacks,” said the 24-year-old athlete after the last 16 match at the 2025 India Open.
