TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Atlet tunggal putri Indonesia, Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo, berhasil menyumbang poin untuk Tim Merah Putih saat menghadapi Korea Selatan di babak semifinal Piala Uber 2024. Ia membawa Indonesia unggul 2-1 setelah mengalahkan Kim Ga Ram melalui rubber game dengan skor 20-22, 21-16, 21-12, di Chengdu Hi Tech Zone Sports Center Gymnasium, Chengdu, China, Sabtu, 4 Mei 2024.

Pada gim pertama, perebutan angka berlangsung sengit bagi kedua pemain. Keduanya saling bergantian untuk mengungguli satu sama lain dengan margin tipis. Kim memiliki pertahanan yang cukup sulit untuk ditembus, sementara Ester mempunyai kekuatan yang terbukti bisa membuka celah pertahanan lawan.

Setelah bertarung ketat, kemenangan gim pertama diraih oleh Kim dengan skor 22-20. “Tadi mungkin di gim awal saya sudah cukup unggul tapi lalu dapat dikejar. Saat itu, fokus saya agak hilang dan dia naik kepercayaan dirinya,” kata Ester seusai pertandingan.

Pada gim kedua, Ester berusaha untuk tampil lebih tenang sembari menjaga kontrol serta momentum keunggulan yang ia pegang di awal pertandingan. Ester pun semakin berani untuk melancarkan bola-bola yang lebih kuat dan variatif sehingga cukup mengejutkan dan menyulitkan Kim.

Semakin percaya diri, Ester akhirnya merebut gim kedua dan memaksakan rubber game untuk membuat Indonesia kembali unggul di babak semifinal Piala Uber 2024.

Pada gim penentuan, Ester kembali menemukan kepercayaan dirinya dan tampil lebih lepas. Ia berhasil memberikan tekanan kepada Kim sehingga lawan menjadi tertekan dan banyak melakukan kesalahan sendiri.

Setelah lebih dari satu jam bermain, adik dari tunggal putra Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo itu pun akhirnya menggandakan keunggulan untuk Indonesia melalui skor 21-12. “Di gim kedua dan ketiga, saya mencoba lebih fokus. Di gim pertama saya lebih ragu-ragu dan banyak memberikan bola tanggung. Maka dari itu, saya mencoba untuk lebih yakin dengan permainan saya,” kata Ester.

Ini merupakan semifinal Piala Uber pertama Indonesia setelah penantian 14 tahun. Terakhir kali Indonesia lolos ke babak empat besar adalah pada edisi 2010 yang diadakan di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Para srikandi Merah Putih memiliki peluang untuk lolos ke babak final, dan jika hal itu terjadi, maka itu adalah pertama kalinya sejak Piala Uber 2008.
