JAKARTA - Indonesia's current number one tennis player, Janice Tjen, is included in the list of players who will appear at the 2026 Indian Wells tennis event which is scheduled to take place early next month.
The tournament, which is part of the WTA 1000 level, will be held on March 4-15, 2026 at the Indian Wells Tennis Park, California, USA. This is the tournament with the most spectators outside the four Grand Slam events.
Currently, Janice's name is inscribed in the list of 78 women's singles players who will take part in the tournament called the Fifth Grand Slam.
The big names on the list are Aryna Sabalenka, who is currently ranked number one in the world and former world number one Iga Swiatek.
In addition, veteran tennis player Venus Williams will also take part in this tournament. The player from the United States who has seven Grand Slam titles participated because he received a wild card facility.
"I'm so excited to be back at Indian Wells. This tournament has always been a special experience and nothing can match the thrill of playing in front of these incredible fans," Venus said on the tournament's official website.
If he appears, this will be the third WTA 1000 that Janice will participate in this year or the fourth overall in his career. He previously played in the Qatar Open and Dubai Championship, all of which were this month.
Janice managed to reach the last 16 at the 2026 Dubai Championship before losing to second seed Amanda Anisimova of the United States. That was Janice's best result on the tour calendar for the WTA 500 and above.
His debut at the WTA 1000 took place at the China Open at the end of last year. At that time he struggled from the qualifying round and then immediately lost in the first round.
In addition to being on the women's singles list at Indian Wells, Janice also participated in the women's doubles. In this sector, he paired up with Chinese Taipei player, Hao-Ching Chan.
Currently, Janice is still fighting in the Merida Open tournament taking place in Mexico. She has lost in the first round of the women's singles, but still has hope in the women's doubles with her partner Katarzyna Piter from Poland.
