JAKARTA - Indonesia has succeeded in advancing two more representatives to the second round of the 2023 India Open. The two representatives are Gregoria Mariska Tunjung and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana.

Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, who competed in the women's singles, qualified for the second round, which was also in the top 16, after defeating the Danish representative, Line Christophersen.

In the match that took place on Wednesday, January 18, afternoon WIB, Grego only needed 42 minutes to win with a final score of 21-17 and 21-19.

This victory made Gregoria advance to the round of 16 and challenge the second seed, An Se-young. Previously, the representative from South Korea also qualified for the last 16 after winning over Wen Chi Hsu with a score of 21-17, 21-9.

Before Gregoria's success in women's singles, men's doubles also did not want to lose. Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana also won a ticket to the round of 16 in a less complicated way.

Facing Chinese representatives, He Ji Ting/Zhou Hao Dong, Bagas/Fikri only needed to appear for 41 minutes to secure a score of 21-17 and 21-16.

With Gregoria and Bagas/Fikri passing, so far Indonesia has sent seven representatives to the round of 16.

Those who have passed more are Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati, Jonatan Christie, Kevin Sanjaya/Marcus Gideon, and Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto.

Even so, Indonesia's chance to add representatives in the advanced round is still open. Several more Indonesian representatives will compete.
