JAKARTA The Indonesian women's singles badminton player, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, is certain to appear at the Hong Kong Open 2024 which will take place this week.

The Super 500 BWF level tournament will take place on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, until Sunday, September 15, 2024, at Hong Kong Coliseum.

This tournament is Gregoria's first since she won a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in August 2024.

Gregoria previously missed Japan and the Korea Open 2024. In both tournaments, the badminton player from Wonogiri could not appear due to the chickenpox virus and flu.

Gregoria admitted that she was tense to face her first tournament since she triumphed in France. The good results at the Olympics and being absent from the two tournaments made him feel quite nervous.

"Honestly, I feel a little nervous and tense going back to the tournament. It's definitely not easy to get back to the game after a month of absence from smallpox and flu," Gregoria said in a statement received.

Gregoria is one of three Indonesian women's singles who will play at the Hong Kong Open 2024. The other two are Putri Kusuma Wardani and Komang Ayu Cahya Dewi.

Putri was present at the Hong Kong Open 2024 after becoming runner-up at the China Taipei Open 2024 last weekend. She reached the top of the tournament, but then lost against South Korean singles Sim Yu-jin.

Women's singles Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo was initially also registered with the Hong Kong Open 2024. However, she had to be absent due to a left leg injury.

Indonesia has a total of 12 representatives who will appear at the Hong Kong Open 2024. In addition to the three women's singles, Indonesia also sent three men's singles, four men's doubles, and women's doubles and a mixture each has one representative.
