JAKARTA - Indonesian women's singles, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, to the quarter-finals of the 2021 SEA Games in Hanoi. Gregoria stopped the step of deputy host Thi Trang (B) Vu, Thursday, May 19, at noon GMT+7 (Indonesian Time).
However, tickets to the quarter-finals did not come easily. He had to play three games over 57 minutes at the Bac Giang Gymnasium.
In fact, Gregoria was left behind after losing 17-21 in the first game. Luckily, the women's singles mainstay of Indonesia rose in the next two games with a score of 21-5, and 21-14.
This was the inaugural victory of the 2017 junior world champion after previously losing while playing in the women's team number. Next, the athlete from Wonogiri will meet De Guzman Mikaela Joy.
Adnan Maulana/Mychelle Crhystine Bandoso's mixed doubles also made it to the quarter-finals. This third seed dashed the dream of Heng Mengleap/Phon Chenda from Cambodia.
In the quarter-finals Adnan/Mychelle will face the host pair Tuan Duc Do/Nhu Thao Pham who qualified after preventing the move of Solomon Jr. Padiz/Eleanor Christine Inlayo.
Previously, three Indonesian representatives had obtained tickets for the quarter-finals. The three representatives are Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo, Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva, and Putri Kusuma Wardani.
