While the men's qualifying drama dominated the first two days of FIP Bronze Yogyakarta 2026, the women's competition has been waiting. The women's draw has no qualifying stage at this event, with all 32 pairs entering directly into the main draw — meaning Day 3, Friday at the Wii Social Hub, was the first day women's matches were played.
It opened with a sweep. Seven seeded women's pairs took to court on Friday in the Round of 32, and all seven won. The eighth seed reached the Round of 16 via walkover.
The most emphatic statement came from the No. 2 seeds. Elisa Terranova of Italy and Anna Neizvestnaya conceded zero games on West A, beating Azika Ollynda and Emilia Dwi Purharini Purharini 6–0, 6–0 — a double bagel that put the rest of the draw on notice. Kotomi Ozawa of Japan and Jessica Lucinda Palma La Cruz, the No. 4 seeds, were almost as ruthless: 6–0, 6–2 against Novi Oey and Meisy Jolly Lee on West A. The No. 5 seeded wild card pair Alba Gallardo Salvado of Spain and Venise Chan also dropped just one game across two sets, beating Nasywaa Rihadatul Aisy and Anggia Shitta Awanda 6–0, 6–1 on Dome A.
The other seeded winners were Patricia Ribeiro of Portugal and Carla Serrano Gonzalez (3) — 6–1, 6–2 over Jessy Rompies and Karyn Emeralda; Yoshino Kushima and Fadona Kusuma (6) — 6–0, 6–2 over Reinata Agnes Sidik and Florence Nicole; and Chifumi Sato and Melati Anhar (7) — 6–2, 6–1 over Feity Lesmana and Kadek Gita Purnami. The No. 8 seeds Elisabeth Nogueras Lorenz and Beatrice Gumulya withdrew from the tournament before their first match, handing the walkover to Trias Wahyu Dianti and Vera Febryani Nayiri — meaning seven of the eight women's seeds reached the Round of 16, with the No. 8 seed eliminated without striking a ball.
The unseeded matches that filled out the women's Round of 32 produced a handful of three-set fights — including a 4–6, 6–4, 7–5 win for Tea Indhie Sahara and Dika Nanda Permatasari over Louise Adrina and Nahla Aufa Dhia Ulhaq on East B, and a 7–6, 6–3 win for Nur Rosida Mega Hadiati and Savira Sandradewi over Ashimah Faradhina Zainuddin and Nurul Fadhilah Yusran. With the seeded pairs and most of the directly accepted teams now into Saturday's Round of 16, the women's competition is set up for the day the contenders meet.
