Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta.  Indonesian tennis player Janice Tjen captured her first-ever singles title on the WTA Tour after defeating Hungary’s Anna Bondar 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in the WTA 125 Jinan Open final in China on Saturday (18/10/2025).

“It was a tough match, but I stayed focused on every point and trusted my game,” said the 23-year-old Jakarta-born player after her two-hour, 25-minute victory, as quoted by antaranews.com. 

The third seed converted three of 11 break points, displaying solid serves and strong baseline consistency throughout the match.

The Jinan win marked a breakthrough year for Janice, who earlier teamed up with Aldila Sutjiadi to clinch the doubles title at the WTA 125 Suzhou Open. She also made her Grand Slam debut at the US Open, reaching the second round after stunning Veronika Kudermetova.

Now ranked 98th in the world, Janice continues to rise as Indonesia’s brightest tennis prospect since Angelique Widjaja’s era.
