Ramdhani reaches Women’s Doubles semis in Costa Rica
National Badminton Champion Priyanna Ramdhani, after coaching her younger peers in the Caribbean Regional Badminton Confederation (CAREBACO) Junior tournament, has switched gears to competition mode as she currently competes in the Costa Rica Future Series 2024.
Priyanna Ramdhani alongside Women’s doubles partner Chequeda de Boulet of Trinidad.
Ramdhani put her racquet to the test in the Women’s Singles and Women’s doubles categories thus far.
In the singles, the Guyanese defeated Costa Rica’s Yaslin Sanchez in the Round of 32, 21-9, 21-7. However, fortunes were not the same in the Round of 16, as she came up short to Portugal’s Mariana Paiva, 21-13, 21-10.
In the doubles division, Ramdhani teamed up with Trinidad and Tobago’s Chequeda de Boulet. The duo took on a pair from El Salvador, Gabriela Barrrios and Margareth Revelo in the Round of 16 and won 21-12, 21-13 to book a spot in the quarterfinals.
The Guyanese/ Trinidadian duo continued to dominate as they moved on to the medal rounds. Ramdhani and de Boulet got the better of Costa Rica’s Jenny NG and Emma Rodriguez, 21-9, 21-4 to secure a spot in the Women’s doubles semifinals.
The semifinal is scheduled for today, Friday September 13 and will see the Guyanese/ Trinidadian pair coming up against Fernanda Munar and Rafaela Muner of Peru, who are the second seeded pair in the competition.
Having made it to the semifinals, Ramdhani and de Boulet are already guaranteed to walk away from the tournament with at least a bronze medal. However, a victory in today’s match will see the duo upgrading that bronze to the possibility of gold or silver.
The Costa Rica Future Series 2024 served off on Wednesday, September 11 and will conclude tomorrow, Saturday, September 14, 2024.
