JAKARTA - Women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung immediately stopped in the first round of the Denmark Open 2022. She lost to Chinese representative He Bingjiao.

Gregoria was forced to lift the suitcase early after giving up in the two games 14-21 and 19-21 at Jyske Bank Arena, Odense, Denmar, Tuesday, October 18 evening WIB.

This defeat adds to Gregoria's poor record against the Chinese representative. Of the three meetings with He Bingjiao, the Indonesian best women's singles before winning once.

Previously Gregoria had experienced defeat to He Bingjiao in Open France in 2019 and the 2018 Asian Team Badminton Championships.

Gregoria's defeat also automatically buried her from Indonesia to get a title in the women's singles number. The reason is, the 2017 junior world champion is the only representative of the Red and White who plays in the Super 750 championship.

Apart from Gregoria, Indonesia's representative from the mixed doubles Zakeldenno Sumanti/Hediana Julimarbela, also returned early in the first half. The pair were beaten by representatives of Thailand, Dechapol Puavaranukroh/Sapsiree Taerattanachai, 14-21 and 9-21.

After this, there are still four Indonesian representatives who are struggling to the second half. Among them are Jonatan Christie against Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus (Denmark).

Then Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo faced Kanta Tsuneyama (Japan), Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan vs Lee Jhe-Huei/Yang Po-Hsuan (Taiwan), Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto vs Ruben Jille/Ties Van Der Lecq (Netherlands).

Indonesia has sent a total of 15 representatives to the Denmark Open this year.
