In 1966 Penang Open, Minarni won in all three available categories (women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles) in one day. Minarni first played in the then triennial Uber Cup competition for Indonesia in her mid teens (1959). In her last Uber Cup campaign (1974-1975), she was assigned as the team captain, and her excellent doubles play helped Indonesia to win its first women's world team title.
