Gregoria controlled the match since the beginning, she continued to lead 11-7 in the first interval. In the second game, Gregoria still dominated and tried to serve rally game that her opponent applied.

"In the first game, I still felt uncomfortable with the pitch. In addition, my position was opposite the wind direction. But I was better prepared than my opponent. In the second game, the opponent shifted the match into a rally game, she did not seem to stand because I was stubbornly responding to her rally," said Gregoria.

"Tomorrow, I will take on Chen Yufei (China), I've met and lost before, so I want to revenge and play the best, she is more superior than me," she added.

"Speaking about the target, I do not want to think too far. I want to win from Chen, because I may fight Tai Tzu Ying and I want to give resistance," said Gregoria.

Thus, Gregoria managed to follow his fellow compatriots such as Fitriani, Hanna Ramadini and Dinar Dyah Ayustine [to the next round].
