Janice Tjen called it “special” after she pulled off an upset to become the first Indonesian to win a match at the Australian Open in 28 years on Jan 20.
Unseeded Tjen stunned Canadian 22nd seed Leylah Fernandez 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) to surge into the second round in Melbourne and add to her growing list of milestones.
Tjen, who this time in 2025 was ranked 413rd but is now the world No. 59, is the first Indonesian to win a match at the Slam since Yayuk Basuki in 1998.
“I'm very happy to be a part of history and be able to get a win here for Indonesia,” said the 23-year-old.
