Previously, Ester only played in the two highest level tournaments, namely the BWF Super 500. The two tournaments in question are the Indonesia Masters and Malaysia Masters 2024.
"Certainly it feels mixed up to be able to appear in the BWF Super 1000 tournament. I feel tense considering my debut against Nozoki Okuhara who is ranked far above me," said Ester.
Ester is the third representative of Indonesia to advance to the second round of the Indonesia Open 2024 tournament.
Before him, two tickets were secured by mixed doubles Adnan Maulana/Nita Violina Marwah and Dejan Ferdinansyah/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.
