[3] [4] She and Greysia Polii won the gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics champions in the women's doubles. [5] She won gold at the 2019 SEA Games, [6] and two bronze medals at the World Championships in 2018 and 2019. [7] Rahayu also won bronze medals at the 2018 Asian Games in the women's team and doubles with her former partner Polii. [8]
With her current partner, Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, Rahayu won the silver medal at the 2023 World Championships, [9] and a gold at the 2021 SEA Games. [10]
Apriyani Rahayu was born in Lawulo village, a remote settlement in Konawe Regency in Southeast Sulawesi. She is the youngest child of an agricultural worker named Ameruddin Pora and his wife, Sitti Jauhar. [11] As a child Rahayu would fight with neighborhood boys, and her father encouraged her to devote her energy to badminton instead, which she agreed to. According to Rahayu's cousin, her father served as her trainer, with a training regimen including running 10 kilometers to competitions and practicing on a homemade court behind his house lined with areca nut trees. Pora was self-sufficient but poor. Rahayu used a homemade wooden racquet with fishing line for string, until her father was able to sell enough vegetables to buy a real racquet. [12] [13] However, Pora himself credits Rahayu's mother as providing her with support and training. Sitti Jauhar was an enthusiastic player of badminton, table tennis and volleyball and encouraged Rahayu to be tough and competitive. [14] In 2007, at the age of 9, she represented Konawe Regency in a regional competition. In 2011, at the age of 13, she was scouted by Yuslan Kisra who brought her in contact with Icuk Sugiarto who recruited her to his club PB Pelita Bakri (now ISTC) and later on PB Jaya Raya Jakarta for international level play. [15] [16] Sitti Jauhar died in 2015 while Apriyani was at a championship in Peru, but she played through after hearing the news, winning two medals.
Practiced at the Pelita Bakrie club, Rahayu was able to excel in national junior tournaments, so that she and her partner, Jauza Fadhila Sugiarto, were able to top the U17 girls' doubles national rankings in 2013. At the beginning of 2013, Rahayu was also called to train at the national training center, but the club had not given permission yet. [17] In 2014, Rahayu and Sugiarto managed to win the Jaya Raya Junior International tournament in August. [18] Then at the World Junior Championships, she won the silver medal partnering Rosyita Eka Putri Sari. [17] [19]

[24] They then clinched a Junior Grand Prix title in the Jaya Raya Junior International tournament. [25] At the Indonesia International Series in Surabaya, Rahayu claimed double title by winning the mixed and women's doubles event. [26]

[28] They also won the Superseries title at the French Open, just five months into their partnership. [29] Other achievements by Polii and Rahayu in 2017 were runner-up in Hong Kong, [30] semi-finalists in New Zealand, [31] and quarter-finalists in Korea Open. [32] Rahayu also helped the Indonesia women's team win the bronze medal at the SEA Games held in Kuala Lumpur, [33] In the individual women's doubles event, she and Polii lost in the first round to eventual champion Jongkolphan Kititharakul and Rawinda Prajongjai of Thailand. [34] The Polii and Rahayu partnership, first paired in May, reached a career high as world number 10 in the BWF World rankings in November. [35]
In January, Rahayu and Polii began the season by finishing as runners-up in the Indonesia Masters, losing to second seeded Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi in the final. [36] A month later, the duo played as the third seeds in the India Open and won the title after beating the first-seeded Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl in the semi-finals, and the second-seeded Jongkolphan Kititharakul and Rawinda Prajongjai in the final.

[47] In the semi-finals, they beat their arch-rivals Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi in a close rubber game, improving their head-to-head record against the Japanese pair to 2–8.

[50] In March, she and Polii lost in the quarter-finals of both the German and All England Open.

[53] In May, she alongside the Indonesia team finished as semi-finalists in the Sudirman Cup in Nanning, settling for the bronze medal. [54] In June, she and Polii advanced to the semi-finals of the Australian Open after beating the first seeded, world number one Mayu Matsumoto and Wakana Nagahara in the quarter-finals, but the duo were beaten by Chinese pair Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan, the fifth defeat in seven meetings between them. [55] At the World Championships in Basel, Switzerland, she and her partner won the bronze medal, after defeat in the semi-finals to eventual champions Matsumoto and Nagahara. [56] After the World Championships, her coach, Eng Hian, evaluated that she and Rahayu had fallen short of their previous standard. In the end of 2019 season, their best results were only the semi-finalists in Chinese Taipei Open, after that, they often lost in the initial stage. [57] She finally won her first women's doubles gold medal at the SEA Games. She and Polii defeated Chayanit Chaladchalam and Phataimas Muenwong of Thailand 21–3, 21–18. [34]

Rahayu returned in the international competitions at the 2020 Asian Leg tournament in January 2021. Together with Polii, she won her first ever BWF Super 1000 tournament, the Yonex Thailand Open. [62] A week later in the semi-finals of the Toyota Thailand Open, Rahayu and Polii fell in two games to Lee So-hee and Shin Seung-chan of South Korea. [63] The duo then played at the World Tour Finals, but was eliminated in the group stage. [64]
