JAKARTA - Women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung and men's singles Anthony Sinisuka Ginting are expected to return to their best performance after failing at the 2025 BWF World Championships (BWF World Championships 2025).
Both names recovered from health problems and went to Adidas Arena, Paris, France. They are expected to bring home a gold medal, but reality says otherwise.
Gregoria was able to reach the round of 16 and lost against Sim Yu-jin from South Korea. Ginting returned early in the first half after being beaten by the host's representative, Toma Junior Popov.
"Ginting and Gregoria have so far been safe from injury and disease. I hope they can immediately make a comeback with the quality of their performance," said Head of Development and Achievement (Head of Binpres) PBSI, Eng Hian.

Gregoria was previously haunted by the vertigo problem after playing in the 2025 Badminton Asia Championship (BAC) last April. He then pulled over and only returned to Japan and the China Open in July 2025 before continuing to Paris.
On the other hand, Ginting was absent longer after the Malaysia Open 2025 in January due to shoulder problems. He also just returned to Japan and the 2025 China Open.
Eng Hian said that apart from the two names, PBSI would also evaluate the pair Leo Rolly Carnando/Bagas Maulana.
"As for Bagas/Leo, I will conduct an evaluation with the coach because their performance at the 2025 BWF World Championships is not in line with our expectations," he said.
The face of Indonesia at the 2025 BWF World Championship was pinned by Putri Kusuma Wardani. The 23-year-old badminton player ran aground in the semifinals and was entitled to take home a bronze medal.
Indonesian representatives will next face the Asian tour starting with the Hong Kong Open (9-14 September 2025), the China Masters (16-21 September 2025), and the Korea Open (23-28 September 2025).
