BWF profile

Pia Zebadiah Bernadet (born 22 January 1989) is a badminton player from Indonesia. She is the sister of men's doubles world and Olympic champion Markis Kido.

Career

Women's singles

In 2007, Zebadiah contributed to the Indonesian women's team's capture of the gold medal at the SEA Games by beating Singapore's Gu Juan 21-15, 17-21, 21-12 in the decisive match.

Perhaps her best performance came in the 2008 Uber Cup. She helped Indonesia to defeat Germany in the semifinals by dominating Karin Schnaase 21-7, 21-15.

She played in the 2008 Indonesia, Japan, and Denmark Super Series events, advancing farthest in Denmark where she reached the quarterfinals.

Another good performance came at the Chinese Taipei Open, where she defeated her compatriot Maria Kristin Yulianti, who won the bronze medal at the Olympic Games, in the quarter-final. However, she lost to the young star from India, Saina Nehwal, in the semifinals.

Women's doubles

Pia Zebadiah plays in women's doubles with Rizki Amelia Pradipta. Previously, she played with Debby Susanto, but they were often defeated in the earlier rounds of a tournament. Because she couldn't play well in several tournaments in the women's doubles discipline, she broke her partnering with Susanto. In 2011, Zebadiah decided to be a professional player along with her brother Kido, rather than be in the national training center. After becoming a professional player, she became partners with Pradipta. Together they achieved better results in women's doubles. In 2012, she with Pradipta won Chinese Taipei Open. In 2013, they won the Malaysia Open Grand Prix Gold.

Mixed doubles

Pia Zebadiah played in mixed doubles with Frans Kurniawan Teng. She always appeared confident, and very lissom. In 2009, Zebadiah took the first title from New Zealand Open and defeated World Badminton Player No. 10 Yohan Hadikusumo Wiratama and Chau Hoi Wah from Hong Kong. In 2010, they reached the semi-finals in the Indonesia Open Grand Prix Gold, but were defeated by Lilyana Natsir and Tantowi Ahmad. In 2011, before they could reach their first final super series, they were once again defeated in the final by Natsir and Ahmad with just straight sets of 21-18 and 23-21. They became the main pair of mixed doubles in the Sudirman Cup due to an injury of Lilyana Natsir.

Personal life

Zebadiah started playing badminton in Jaya Raya Jakarta badminton club. Her parents are Djumharbey Anwar (father) and Yul Asteria Zakaria (mother). In her spare time she plays football. Her brothers, Bona Septano, and Markis Kido, are also Indonesian national badminton players.
