JAKARTA The women's singles badminton player Gregoria Mariska Tunjung secured the ticket to the first quarter-finals for Indonesia at the 2025 India Open.

The fourth seed passed the second round of the tournament thanks to a victory over Natik Nidaira two straight games 21-12 and 24-22 on Thursday, January 16, 2025, afternoon WIB.

"Overall, what I have shown is better than the first half," said Gregoria after the match in an official statement received.

This result also keeps Gregoria's record of never losing against Nathi. This is his fourth win with the Japanese representative on the competitive stage.

The previous three wins were secured by the owner of the 2024 Paris Olympics bronze medal at the 2016 Asian Junior Championships, the 2024 Malaysia Open, and the 2024 Asian Championships.

In the quarter-finals, Friday, January 17, 2025, Gregoria will meet the winner of Pusarla V Sindhu against Manami Suizu. Both names have not fought before this news was written.

"I have to be calmer in the quarter-finals when there is a change from the opponent and hope tomorrow I can win and go far. I can also perform better than today," said Gregoria.

If successful through the quarter-finals, Gregoria's path will be tough because he is likely to meet An Se-young's first seed in the semifinals.

Gregoria is one of four Indonesian waki who reached the second half. The other three are Dejan Ferdinansyah/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, Jonatan Christie, and Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto.
