JAKARTA - Janice Tjen and Aldila Sutjiadi feel so happy to recover very quickly from health problems and manage to contribute the last gold medal in the tennis sport (cabor) at the 2025 Thailand SEA Games.
Janice/Aldila climbed to the highest podium after defeating the host representative, Mananchaya Sawangkaew/Peangtarn Plipuech, in two straight sets 6-2 and 6-1 at the National Tennis Development Center, Nonthaburi, on Friday, December 19, 2025.
"I feel happy to win today, to perform well, and to close the fight with a gold medal," said Janice after the match.
The gold medal won by Janice/Aldila is the only one from the individual number that Indonesia has won. In total, tennis contributed three gold medals, the other two from the women's and men's doubles.
Janice and Aldila contributed to the women's doubles and then fell ill afterwards. Janice even had to withdraw from the women's singles semi-final match which made her satisfied with the bronze medal.
"Of course it's nice, especially that we both got sick after the doubles round, but we can recover every day. Praise God we both were able to give the maximum game in the final and were able to grab the third gold from the tennis discipline," said Aldila.
This is the second victory for Janice/Adila against the Thai pair. Previously, they defeated the pair in the final of the doubles.
Aldila said that the meeting made him and Janice able to know the advantages and disadvantages of the opponent so that they could win decisively in the individual number.
"So, we can anticipate what they are doing and can say that our game today is better than the doubles, solid at critical points," said Aldila.
Indonesia currently has collected 85 gold medals and is firmly in second place in the medal standings. The number of gold medals has exceeded the target of 80 gold medals that were targeted in the biennial multi-branch sports festival.
