Even though he won, Gregoria was not satisfied

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Despite winning, Indonesian women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung admitted that she was not satisfied. Gregoria advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2024 Badminton Asia Championships (BAC) in Ningbo, China, Thursday (11/4/2024), by defeating Taiwanese mainstay Pai Yu Po 21-19, 21-16.

“I must admit this was not a good match for me. The more I want to get points, the more I often throw away points. “I was really dissatisfied and comfortable with today's match, but fortunately I won,” said Gregoria.

The player from Wonogiri, Central Java, said that from the start of the first to the second game, he made a lot of mistakes that didn't need to happen.

“It was uncomfortable, but I kept trying to find a way forward. “With the quality of the game like today, it doesn't feel worth showing in the next match,” said the 2023 Kumamoto Masters champion.

Gregoria Mariska will next meet Chinese player Chen Yu Fei in the last eight of BAC 2024.

“He (Chen Yu Fei) certainly has his own motivation because he plays in front of the public himself. I just want to try to play better than today. “Tomorrow I have to appear calmer and have to be able to read the situation,” said Gregoria Mariska.
