JAKARTA - Indonesian women's badminton player, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, has officially been absent from the 2025 Australian Open. This news was conveyed by Imam Tohari as the Indonesian women's singles coach who announced Gregoria's withdrawal from the BWF Super 500 event.

"Gregoria Mariska Tunjung was forced to be withdrawn from her participation in the Australian Open 2025 after seeing the physical condition after the 2025 Kumamoto Masters final," said Imam Tohari, quoted from the official PBSI release on Monday, November 17, 2025.

Gregoria's physical condition is the main reason the player is not included again in the Australian Open 2025. After exploring the 2025 Kumamoto Masters final on Sunday, November 16, 2025, Gregoria still needs to undergo the recovery process.

"From the results of monitoring and assessment, Gregoria still needs a longer recovery to return to the competition."

"Short recovery with remaining time plus a long way from Japan to Australia risks his physical fitness," said Imam Tohari.

With Gregoria absent, six Indonesian representatives have been confirmed to withdraw from the agenda which will take place on 18-23 November 2025, at Quaycentre, Olympic Boulevard.

The six Indonesian representatives who withdrew were Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Mohammad Zaki Ubaidillah, Amri Syahnawi/Nita Violina Marwah, Komang Ayu Cahya, Bagas Maulana/Leo Rolly Carnando, and Gregoria Mariska Tunjung.

The Head of Binpres PBSI, Eng Hian, revealed that Anthony Sinisuka Ginting certainly did not appear because the match schedule coincided with the moment when his first child was born.

PBSI respects Ginting's decision to accompany his family and fully support him so that he can return to compete with a new spirit.

"Families are an important part of the balance of life of an athlete. We believe Ginting will return with stronger motivation," said Eng Hian, quoted from the PBSI release.

Meanwhile, Mohammad Zaki Ubaidillah was also withdrawn from the list of participants because the match schedule coincided with the academic exam that had to be carried out.

PBSI supports athletes' commitment to education as part of character development.

"We want athletes to continue to balance careers and education. Development is not only a matter of achievement in the field, but also a complete personal development," said Eng Hian.

The men's doubles Bagas Maulana/Leo Rolly Carnando also did not take part in the Australian Open 2025 because they were focused on the intensive preparation program for the 2025 SEA Games.

"We are withdrawing Bagas and Leo from the Australian Open so that they can focus on preparing for the 2025 SEA Games, which is a national priority tournament."

"We want them to appear in the best condition, both physically and mentally," said Eng Hian

The mixed doubles Amri Syahnawi/Nita Violina Marwah canceled their appearance because Amri had smallpox, which made the preparation time for the tournament insufficient.

"This decision was taken to maintain health and prevent the risk of declining performance. We want to make sure they recover completely before returning to competition," said Eng Hian.

PBSI emphasized that every player adjustment decision was made in a measured manner and considered the long-term interests of national athlete coaching.

"With the spirit of sustainable coaching and a mature competitive strategy, I am optimistic that the Indonesian team will continue to show high competitiveness and maintain its position as one of the main powers of world badminton," said Eng Hian.
