Though she won women's singles at the 1990
Dutch Open, Minarti was primarily a doubles player, particularly excelling in mixed doubles. During the 1990s and the early 2000s (decade), she won numerous international mixed doubles titles, the majority with
Tri Kusharjanto but also, later, with
Bambang Suprianto. These included the
Thailand (1994, 1996),
Indonesia (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999),
Singapore (1995, 1998),
Malaysia (1996, 1998, 2000), and
Japan (2001) Opens; the
SEA Games (1995); the
World Badminton Grand Prix (1995); the
Badminton World Cup (1996); and the
Asian Championships (2000). She was part of the Indonesia winning team at the
1989 Sudirman Cup, helped the team defeat South Korea in group 1A, where she played in the mixed doubles with
Aryono Miranat beating
Park Joo-bong and
Chung Myung-hee in straight games. Minarti and Kusharjanto did not quite capture titles at any of badminton's three most prestigious tournaments for individual players: the
Olympics, the
World Championships, and the
All-England Championships. They were runners-up at the
1997 All-Englands and bronze medalists at the
1997 IBF World Championships in
Glasgow, Scotland. At the
2000 Olympics in
Sydney, Australia they had to settle for a silver medal after losing an extremely close final to
China's Zhang Jun and
Gao Ling. After retired from the national team, she moved to Philippines in 2003, and started a new career as a coach at the
Philippines national badminton team. Timur also represented the Philippines in international tournaments. In 2016, she moved back to her home country, == Achievements ==
