Apriyani/Fadia And Gregoria Qualify For The Semifinals Of The Swiss Open 2023

JAKARTA Indonesia only has two representatives left in the semifinals of the Swiss Open 2023. The two representatives are from the women's doubles and singles sectors, respectively.

From the double number, tickets were obtained by the pair Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti.

They escaped after eliminating Li Yi Jing/Luo Xu Min in two straight games 22-20, 21-5.

The owner of the Vietnam SEA Games gold medal then met the Japanese pair, Yuki Fukushima/Sayaka Hirota. This is the first meeting between the two pairs.

Meanwhile, the women's singles number that reached the semifinals was Gregoria Mariska Tunjung. The 2017 junior world champion is in the top four after stopping Scotland's singles, Kirsty Gilmour.

Gregoria will be challenged by Thailand's single Pornpawee Chochuwong to win the final ticket. Both players have a head to head record of equal strength 2-2.

Their last meeting took place at the Hylo Open 2022. At that time, Gregoria won the duel after going through a rubber game with a final score of 21-14, 20-22, 22-20.

Indonesia actually has five representatives in the quarter-finals of the Swiss Open 2023. However, the other three had to go home early from the Super 300 BWF level event.

The three representatives who had previously lifted the suitcase were the women's singles Putri Kusuma Wardani, the men's doubles Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, and the mixed doubles Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari.

The semifinals of the Swiss Open 2023 will be held at St. Jakobshalle, Basel, on Saturday, March 25, 2023. The series of matches will begin at 20.00 WIB.
