Carolina Marín to Seek Second Title in Seven Days Against Gregoria Mariska Tunjung

This Sunday Marín will seek her second title in seven days against the second favorite, the Indonesian Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, who had previously gotten rid of the also Japanese Nozomi Okuhara by 21-15 and 21-17.

In the first set against Miyazaki, Carolina Marín was down on the scoreboard by 9-14, 11-15 and 13-16, but was able to overcome it to score the first set by 21-18.

The Japanese also started in charge in the second chapter with a maximum advantage of +3 (4-7), but again the Spaniard exhibited her capacity for recovery to take control from 9-8 and increased her advantage until closing the duel with a clear 21-12.

“We are in the final and I am very, very happy with how I felt in the game, especially because of the focus of attention that I wanted to put today on the things to improve, on the game plan, on things that I was doing it,” Marín explained.

“The smile has come back many times, despite the mistakes, simply because it was within the game plan and those were the things I had to do. So tomorrow the final against Gregoria Mariska. We really want to and let’s go for it” , he added.

Marín and Tunjung have faced each other so far on three occasions with two wins for the Indonesian, in Madrid and Hong Kong in 2023, and one for the Spanish, at the 2018 Malaysia Open.
