Indonesia Takes Women’s Silver and Bronze at Asian Games Padel Debut

Indonesia won two women’s padel medals at the Asian Games on 3 October 2026: silver for Fadona Kusumawati and Fitriani Sabatini, and bronze for Novela Putria and Beatrice Gumulya.

Kusumawati and Sabatini lost the final in Nagoya to Japan’s Kae Tokumoto and Saki Tsukamoto, 6–3, 6–4. Putria and Gumulya beat the Philippines’ Danna Abad and Joshea Malazarte 6–0, 6–0 in the bronze-medal match.

The finalists had conceded only two games in their three played victories before meeting Japan. Their run included a 6–0, 6–1 quarter-final win over Chifumi Sato and Kotomi Ozawa and a 6–0, 6–0 semi-final win over Abad and Malazarte.

Putria and Gumulya reached the last four by beating Hong Kong’s Chan Hiu and Law Yik 6–1, 6–2. They lost to the eventual Japanese champions before returning to secure bronze.

With both partnerships on the podium, Indonesia took two of the three medal positions in the inaugural women’s competition.
