In that tournament, Pradipta reached the fourth round only to be beaten by Porntip Buranaprasertsuk from Thailand 13–21, 21–16, 4–21.

In 2009, after such a good performance in Pune, Pradipta was chosen by PBSI to be promoted to join the national team in Cipayung as a singles player, but in early 2010, due to lack of results that she had achieved, she was finally relegated by PBSI and had to return to her club.

She then changed to play in doubles disciplines, and in 2011, started her partnership with Pia Zebadiah Bernadet who was just recently resigned from national team. As a new pair, they won their first tournament in 2012 Vietnam International beating Malaysian pair Amelia Alicia Anscelly and Soong Fie Cho 21–10, 21–15.

And for Pradipta and Zebadiah, it was their fourth title overall and second Grand Prix title.

In the beginning of 2013, after their good results in 2012, PBSI recognized their achievement, and called them back to the national team, this time as a double specialist. But then, respectively, both players rejected the offer and continuing their career as an independent player.

In early May, they won their first title of the year after winning 2013 Malaysia Grand Prix Gold beating the evergreen Vita Marissa and her new starlet partner Aprilsasi Putri Lejarsar Variella 21–17, 16–21, 21–17 in the final. Following their good results, their world ranking was also growing rapidly and just after one and a half years, the pair finally reached top 10 in the world ranking on 30 May 2013.
