JAKARTA Women's singles badminton player Gregoria Mariska Tunjung won over Hung Yi-Ting from China Taipei to secure a ticket to the second round or last 16 of the 2025 Kumamoto Masters Japan.
The fourth seed came from the failure of the first game and locked up the victory with a score of 17-21, 21-9, and 21-18 on Wednesday, November 12, 2025.
"A very meaningful victory, grateful that the previous two tournaments always lost in the first round," said the owner of the 2024 Olympic bronze medal.
Gregoria came to this tournament after being eliminated early in the first round of Denmark and the French Open 2025, all of which took place last October.

"Although today has not shown a good enough game, I can get through with positive results. Hopefully tomorrow my game will be better," said Gregoria.
In the second half, Gregoria will meet Hina Akechi. The Japanese representative secured the ticket to the second half thanks to a victory over his compatriot Natuk Nidaira.
Gregoria's victory made the two Indonesian women's singles in this tournament all safe. Previously, Ni Kadek Dhinda Amartya Pratiwi had obtained one ticket.
