JAKARTA - Indonesian women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung failed to advance to the third round of the 2022 BWF World Championships in Japan. Gregoria failed after giving up two straight games 12-21 and 15-21 to Akane Yamaguchi at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday, August 23 evening WIB.
This was Gregoria's first loss to the Japanese women's singles in their last three meetings. Gregoria was previously able to end Yamaguchi's dominance over him in two tournaments in Malaysia which took place last June and July.
At that time, she defeated the world number one in women's singles in the last 32 of the Malaysia Open and the quarter-finals of the Malaysia Masters.
It was their third win over Yamaguchi from their previous eleven meetings.
The elimination of Gregoria from the World Championships made Indonesia run out of representatives in the women's singles number. Previously, Merah Putih had already lost Putri Kusuma Wardani, who had returned home in the first round.
Even though Gregoria lost, Indonesia added representatives in the third round of mixed doubles through Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati. The pair won 21-14, 21-15 over Hong Kong representatives Chang Tak Ching/Ng Wing Yung.
Rehan/Lisa followed the mixed doubles move of Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari who qualified for the third round after beating the Chinese Taipei pair, Lee Yang/Yang Ching Tun.
