Jakarta –
Indonesian women’s singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung to be featured in Badminton World Championships 2023. He was determined to appear more enjoy and not burdened.
The 2017 junior world champion occupies the eighth seed at the BWF World Championships which will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 21-27 August.
Gregoria doesn’t even have to struggle through the first round or round of 64, as she has done before, in order to move on to the next phase. He received a bye and is still waiting for an opponent from the winner between Yeo Jia Min (Singapore) and Qi Xuefei (France) in the round of 32.

“I will just enjoy the match. Now as the seed, I will appear to enjoy it more and don’t want to be burdened,” said the player who is familiar with Jorji in his written statement.
Gregorian It is recorded that he has participated in four World Championships since 2018, with one of them failing to appear. The Indonesian badminton team decided to withdraw from the 2021 BWF World Championship or the 2021 Badminton World Championships, in Spain, due to the spread of the new variant of the COVID-19 Omicron virus at that time.
From these records, Gregoria’s best result has reached the round of 16 at the 2019 World Championship. She lost to her nemesis, Ratchanok Intanon from Thailand 21-18, 21-23, 10-21.
However, Gregoria has a good track record this year. Apart from finally being successful in becoming a champion in one of the BWF Super 300 tournaments, the Spain Masters, in fact the 24-year-old female badminton player has also been able to rival and even get rid of the world’s top 10 players, classmates like Akane Yamaguchi, Pusarla V Sindhu, to Chen Yu Fei.
Reflecting on that, the world ranked 8th player is expected to go further in the World Championships. However, instead of burdening him with high targets, Indra Widjaja as the women’s singles coach hopes Gregoria Mariska Tunjung can bring out their best abilities in Badminton World Championships 2023.
“We know that the last matches have always been up and down. At the Korea Open (the results) were not good, at the Japan Open it was much better. So, the best was issued first,” Indra said when met by a separate reporter at the PBSI National Training Center, Cipayung.
“Other targets like Gregoria in the early rounds have met Yeo Jia Min (Singapore) with Qi Xuefei (France), that’s also not (easy). I think in the World Championships, round by round you have to really pay attention, that’s what you have to be prepared. That’s all first, don’t be too grandiose,” he said.
