JAKARTA - Indonesian women's tennis player Janice Tjen, returned in the 16th round of the women's doubles event at the 2026 Indian Wells tennis event with her partner from China Taipei, Chan Hao Ching.

They picked up their bags from the WTA 1000-level tournament after losing to the American-Spanish pair, Nicole Melichar-Martinez/Christina Bucsa, with a final score of 7-6 (10), 4-6, and 5-10 on Monday, March 9, 2026.

Janice/Chan lost the service in the first game and then couldn't stop the opponent in the second game, falling 0-2 at the start of the first set. They then managed to steal the third game, but couldn't take advantage of four break points in the next game.

In the sixth game, it was the opponent's turn to lose the service so that Janice/Chan managed to tie the score 3-3. They then held the service and managed to use it to regain the lead.

The chase for the numbers was fierce after that so the match continued to the tie-break. During that period, Janice/Chan lost two serves and failed to take advantage of four set points, but finally won.

In the second set, Janice/Chan managed to convert the only break point in the third game to take a 2-1 lead. The match then went tight before they lost their serve in the 10th game so the match continued to the super tie-break.

In the determination phase, Janice/Chan could not provide a fierce resistance. After the score was 1-1, they continued to lose so that the opponent comfortably led and locked the victory.

In addition to playing in the women's doubles, Janice also actually appeared in the singles. However, in that sector he immediately lost in the first round against Romanian player Jaqueline Cristian, in a three-set match.
