JAKARTA - Indonesian women's singles, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, failed to go further in the Indonesia Open 2023. The deputy host had to be eliminated in the early rounds.

In the round of 32 which took place at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, June 13, Gregoria had to admit the superiority of India's representative, Pusarla V Sindhu.

Gregoria had given resistance in the first game even though they finally bowed 19-21. In the second game, the PV Sindhu rate was unstoppable and closed the second game with a score of 21-15.

Apart from Gregoria, the couple Zacharian Susiahno Sumanti/Hediana Julimarbela were eliminated in the early rounds. They must recognize the superiority of the Thai pair, Dechapol Puavaranukroh/Sapsiree Taerattanachai, with a score of 17-21 and 9-21.

Mixed doubles that also fell were Adnan Maulana/Nita Violina Marwah. The young Indonesian pair lost 15-21 and 9-21 to the first seed from China, Zheng Si Wei/Huang Ya Qiong.

"The thing that can be taken is that we have to be more patient in the future to face the opponents above us. They don't die easily on their own, so we have to be patient, and (improve) our pattern of play too," said Adnan, as quoted by Antara.

Meanwhile, the women's doubles Lanny Tria Mayasari/Ribka Sugiarto lost to their compatriot Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Amalia Cahaya Pratiwi. They lost 15-21 and 18-21.

The pair Meilysa Trias Puspitasari/Rachel Alllessya Rose also stepped foot into the round of 16. The host's men's doubles won 21-18 and 23-21 over Malaysia's representative, Vivian Hoo/Lim Chiew Sien.

"It's really sad to meet our own colleagues in the early rounds. Throughout the match we tried to put up a fight to win," said Ana.
