    Gronya visited Thailand for her training sessions with Thailand national team (under the guidance of Rexy) and also with Banthongyord Badminton School.

    Couldn't find any articles why she ended her doubles partnerships with Setyana Mapasa and Simon Leung

    They might have moved on and stopped playing. For her, I guess she has better commercial endorsements with her family background

    Setyana has her own club and is basically fulltime coaching in Sydney, that combined with Gronya being in Melbourne probably is the reason. Setyana still plays but not on the international circuit, she won the WD and XD at Australian National Championships earlier this year.

    Simon announced his retirement at the start of last year https://badmintonoceania.org/reigni...an-olympian-simon-leung-announces-retirement/
