This is their first meeting in a competitive arena. On paper, Gregoria, who is the seventh seed, was favorite to win versus the 15th ranked player in the world.
The clash between Gregoria and Maixnerova will take place in the 10th party on Field 2. It is estimated that their duel will take place at 21.30 WIB.
However, this time is still tentative because it adapts to other matches before them. So, it could be faster or delayed from the above estimates.
This is Gregoria's fifth appearance at the World Championships since his debut in 2018. His best achievement was achieved in the 2023 edition when he reached the quarter-finals and lost against Akane Yamaguchi.
This year, Gregoria qualified with Putri Kusuma Wardani. Both are also expected to end the women's singles gold medal drought since Susi Susanti climbed the highest podium in the 1993 edition.
