BOLASPORT.COM – The progress of Southeast Asian or ASEAN tennis players, including Janice Tjen, is currently in the spotlight after ensuring that she was in the main round of the 2026 Australian Open.

As a potential female tennis player that Indonesia currently has, the name Janice Tjen is being discussed by many parties even though she is experiencing a decline when competing in singles.

Even though he fell in the first round at the 2026 Hobar International at the hands of American tennis player Iva Jovic, the player ranked 56th in the world still received attention.

The reason is, Janice was still progressing in the women’s doubles when she teamed up with Polish tennis player Katarzyna Piter and soared to the top match.

One step further, Janice can win the title if in the final round she defeats the duo of Magali Kempen from Belgium and Anna Siskova from the Czech Republic.

This work at the Hobart International is good capital for Janice to be able to perform optimally in facing the prestigious event, namely the Australian Open 2026.

In one of the Grand Slam tournaments, Janice’s name was confirmed to be in the main draw, aka the main round.

A different atmosphere will be presented at the 2026 Australian Open which will start on January 18-February 1 because for the first time in history there will be 4 ASEAN tennis players.

Accompanying Janice, 3 other tennis players from the ASEAN region were Alex Eala from the Philippines and 2 representatives from Thailand, Manachaya Sawangkaew and Lanlana Tararudee.
