JAKARTA – Indonesian tennis player Janice Tjen continues his positive trend by defeating youth team rival Filipino tennis player Alexandra Eala in Brazil on Friday, September 12 local time or in the WIB Saturday.
Jennis successfully suppressed the No. 3 seed, who also rose 6-4, 6-1 in one hour and 12 minutes, leading 3-0 in the first set, and then won 12 games in the next 14 games.
“It’s still amazing to me and it feels not true yet,” Janice said after the game, as the WTA reported from ANTARA on Saturday, September 13.
“I focused on every point, especially against Alex Eala, and we all knew he could stand up at any time and just tried to concentrate and stick to the end.
Although this is the first professional meeting between Tjen and Eala, the two have been meeting for a long time.
According to WTA records, they first met in two Division 4 Junior Championships in 2018, and the two won the “away” match – Eala in Jakarta, and Janice in Makassar, Philippines.
To commemorate the importance of two tennis players from Southeast Asia meeting in the WTA quarterfinals, Jennis wrote “Southeast Asia” (Southeast Asia) and drew a heart on the camera after winning.
Eala led their junior game 2-1 and started the game better, pressing Janice’s hand backwards to avoid his forward fist.
No. 130 Janice began to master her steps and uniforms. Every time he was flexible in kicking his forward, he would punch every corner of the court and ended up scoring 23 points on Eala’s four.
Down 0-3, Janice only faced one point and led 2-1 in the second set. He dominated the game in a unique way – a mandatory serve that the front winner and opponents cannot return.
Eala won seven straight wins after winning the first 125 WTA title in Guadalajara last week, which also failed due to his own 15 mistakes that often lead to the network.
At the end of the game, Janice converted her second match point with a winner’s return to secure a victory.
