Uber Cup Results 2024: Indonesia Qualifies For Semifinals

JAKARTA The Indonesian women's badminton team beat Thailand in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Uber Cup.

Gregoria Mariska Tunjung and his friends met the target at this event with a 3-0 victory at the Hi-Tech Zone Sports Center Gymnasium, Chengdu, China, Friday, May 3, 2024, afternoon WIB.

The first number for Indonesia was contributed by Gregoria. He beat Thailand's mainstay singles, Ratchanok Intanon, two straight games with a score of 22-20 and 21-18.

This is a special victory for Gregoria. The reason is, from eight clashes before, Gregoria has never won once against Intanon. "Thankfully today's match can be passed well. I thought earlier for myself because even during the international tour I won over Intanon," said Gregoria.

Indonesia then got the second point through women's doubles Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti. The pair beat Jongkolphan Kititharakul/Rawinda Prajongjai.

Apri/Fadia also won two straight games over an opponent they had beaten twice in three meetings.

"In terms of game, our pattern is not much different from the previous meetings. We both know. So, earlier on in the field we were really ready, really in and knew what to do on the field. More sure," said Fadia.

Tickets for the semifinals belong to Indonesia after Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo came back from the defeat of the first game to beat Supanida Katethong in the two sets after her.

Furthermore, the Indonesian women's team will meet South Korea in the 2024 Uber Cup semifinals. South Korea passed the quarter-finals after overthrowing China Taipei 3-0.

The semifinals of Indonesia vs South Korea will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2024.
