JAKARTA The women's singles Kusuma Wardani was eliminated in the second round of the Indonesia Masters 2024 after being beaten by a Japanese single, Natik Nidaira.

Putri was forced to surrender in two straight games with a score of 20-22 and 16-21 at Istora Gelora Bung Karno, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, January 25, 2024, afternoon WIB.

Putri performed well and put up a fierce fight in the first game. While in the second game, he got up from behind and equalized the score three times.

Unfortunately, the tough performance of the Japanese representatives made the daughter's dream have to be dashed.

"Earlier, the pattern I used from the first set and second set was the same. Only Japanese players are the same type of play, which is tenuous. So, it's not easy to die. I also threw away a lot of balls," said Putri after the match.

The results obtained by Putri made the Indonesian women's singles remaining Gregoria Mariska Tunjung and Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo. The two representatives faced each other after this.

Therefore, it is certain that Indonesia only has one representative from the women's singles who are in the quarter-finals of this Super 500 BWF level event.

Before Putri, Indonesia's representative from the mixed doubles Rinov Rivaldy Pitha Haningtyas Mentari had already been eliminated. The pair, beaten by representatives of China, Jiang Zhen Bang/Wei Ya Xin, were two straight games with identical scores 13-21 and 13-21.

Indonesia has a total of 13 representatives in the second half. Thus, there are still 11 representatives who will fight for tickets to the quarter-finals.
