The badminton player who was born in Tangerang 23 years ago will then meet the 2022 junior world champion from Japan, Tomoka Miyazaki. This is their third clash.
"Finally met at the Japan Open 2025, I was able to win. Here the conditions are a little different, the pitch is more windy. So, I have to save the game more," said Putri.
In addition to winning in Japan, Putri also managed to beat Tomoka in their first clash at the Hong Kong Open last year. However, another clash at the 2024 Macau Open, he lost.
Tomoka, who is the eighth seed in the tournament, reached the round of 16 after defeating Wen Chi Hsu of China Taipei.
