JAKARTA Indonesian women's singles badminton player, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, shows off a photo of meeting the tennis star from Spayol, Rafael Nadal.
Their meeting took place in the 2024 Paris Olympic Athletes Village after the Indonesian badminton team entered there on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, evening local time.
Gregoria captured the moment and shared it through Instagram social media without any information at all, except marking Nadal's Instagram account.
Nadal is one of several tennis stars to return to the 2024 Olympics. He had previously won a gold medal in this event in the 2008 edition in Beijing, China, in the men's singles number.

In tennis history, Nadal is one of the best. He has collected 22 Grand Slam titles or two more than Roger Federer and two adrift of Novak Djokovic (24) who holds the record.
Gregoria on the other hand came to Paris this year to hunt for her first medal at the Olympics.
This is the second Olympics that Gregoria faced after previously appearing in Tokyo 2020, which was postponed for a year due to the corona pandemic. At that time his journey ran aground in the round of 16.
This year Gregoria will start a journey from Group G against Ukraine's representative, Polina Buhrova. Another opponent after that is a badminton player from the Republic of Ceska, Tereza Svabikova.
Only the group winners will advance to the next round. If you look at the opponents, Gregoria is very favored to be able to get through the preliminary round.
The 2024 Paris Olympics will open on Friday, July 26, 2024. The badminton sport will only compete the day after.
