Sporting relatives:

Her husband Prima Simpatiaji has represented Indonesia in soft tennis, and won three gold medals at the 2011 South East Asian Games in Indonesia. He coached the Indonesia men's team at the 2023 South East Asian Games in Cambodia. (SportsDeskOnline, 08 Aug 2023; idntimes, 28 Jun 2023; sport, 10 May 2023; antaranews, 12 Sep 2014)

In 2017 she suffered wrist and knee injuries. (Athlete, 17 Aug 2018)

She took up the sport at age 16 in Jakarta, Indonesia. "Initially I only played soft tennis for fun. But then my father invited me to a training session. It turned out that the training session was a selection for the 2011 South East Asian Games. I was actually surprised that I got selected. Everyone there was just like me, we all had tennis background." (idntimes, 28 Jun 2023; Athlete, 17 Aug 2018)

She began playing soft tennis to remain fit and healthy. "Tennis has more tension than soft tennis. It could take one to two hours to finish a tennis match. Soft tennis is simpler and more fun. That's why I preferred soft tennis." (Athlete, 17 Aug 2018; Eka Afandi YouTube channel, 24 May 2014)

Winning three medals at the 2011 South East Asian Games in Indonesia, and winning a gold medal at the 2023 South East Asian Games in Cambodia. (idntimes, 28 Jun 2023)

General
BREAK AND RETURN
In 2019 she decided to take a break from the sport after giving birth to her son Byan. She returned to international competition at the 2023 South East Asian Games in Cambodia, where she won the women's singles title. "Cambodia will be very memorable. I did not play for quite a while. I got married and then gave birth. I think I did not play for two years. I started training on my own when I heard that soft tennis would be played in Cambodia. When I returned to training, I could still play, I still had my touch with the racquet, but regaining my physical endurance was hard. It was not easy to just return and win gold."
