In this match, the 2023 Asian Junior Badminton Championships champion admitted that he lost his concentration in the second match. While playing comfortably in the first game, Mutiara lost her focus and therefore had to play until the third game. Thankfully, in the deciding game, his focus and confidence returned and he was able to earn a ticket to the knockout stages.
“In this fight, I struggled to adapt to the competitive arena. I feel that my opponent plays comfortably when the match arena conditions are like this,” said the world No. 113 in women’s singles.

“I think the opponent is actually quite profitable in conditions like these. I just try to focus on every point to win,” Mutiara added.
Mutiara’s triumph was also joined by another Indonesian in women’s singles, Ester Tri Nurumi Tri Wardoyo. The defending Indonesia International Challenge champion advanced to the round of 16 after defeating Malaysia’s Kasturi Radhakrishnan in women’s singles 21-9, 21-13.
The August 26, 2005 women’s singles player has admitted that she hasn’t brought out her best form as the opponents she has faced have committed many unforced errors. The 2022 BWF World Junior Championships semi-finalist has been proven capable of winning a second-round ticket against the neighboring country’s representative in 27 minutes.
“I feel like I’m still not optimal. I did today’s game to adapt to the next game,” Ester said.
“I don’t underestimate every opponent I face, I want to focus on every round I face to be able to go as far as possible,” continued Chico Aura’s younger brother Dwi Wardoyo.
The brilliance of Mutiara and Esther unfortunately could not be followed by Bilqis Prasista. The women’s singles born on May 24, 2003 was halted in the first round after dropping second seeded Thailand Lalinrat Chaiwan 16-21. 12-21.
In this match, the daughter of Joko Supriyanto and Zelin Resiana admitted that she did not play optimally because she committed many unforced errors. It was noted that the White Elephant Country opponent took advantage of mistakes made by Bilqis to be able to win within 30 minutes.
“My best game didn’t come out in this fight. I made a lot of unforced errors which benefited the opponent. Going forward, I have to be able to minimize my own mistakes,” concluded the 2021 champion of the Bangladesh Junior International Series.
So far, eight representatives have been registered as representatives of Indonesia in the women’s singles sector who made it into the top 16. Indonesian representatives in the women’s singles sector who qualified for the second round include Kyla Legiana Agatha, Gabriela Mellani Moningka, Tasya Farahnailah, Mutiara Ayu Puspitasari, Yulia Yosephine Susanto, Ruzana, Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo and Aisya Sativa Fatetani.
