JAKARTA Men's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung passed the second round of the Indonesia Open 2024 to be the only single host daughter in the quarter-finals. Gregoria kept her target in the competition after winning two straight games 21-13 and 21-15 against Thailand's Supanida Katethong singles at the Istora Senayan Stadium, Jakarta, Thursday, June 6. Previously these two players met in the Thailand Open quarter-finals in the last month. At that time, Gregoria won the first game, but lost dramatically in the next two games. Actually in the previous matches I felt the opportunity to win, but the opponents played very well and I couldn't get out of the pressure,''' said Gregoria. At the Indonesia Open this was Gregoria's sixth victory over Supanide of a total of eight clashes of them. One other defeat Gregoria over Supanida occurred at the Thailand Open as well, 2017 to be exact. Gregoria will next face sixth seed from China, Wang Zhi Yi. In the five previous clashes, Gregoria won 3-2. Gregoria's two defeats were all the ones suffered in their two most recent clashes. The most actual at the Singapore Open last week. It''' was definitely not easy. Yesterday we just met at the Singapore Open. But I will try to give the best. I have a good game target here,' said Gregoria. Unfortunately in another match, the men's singles son Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo could not beat his opponent to reach the quarter-finals. Ester was knocked out in both tournaments after giving up in the two straight games against the Chinese representative, Wang Zhi Yi. The Xpora Indonesia International Challenge 2023 champion lost for the third time against Wang in the competitive arena. Previously he lost in the same round when he met Wang at Malaysia Masters last month and the 2024 Asian Championships in April. This year's Indonesia Open is Ester's debut at the World Tour Super 1000 event tournament, which is the highest level of the BWF tournament.
