JAKARTA - Indonesian women's tennis player Aldila Sutjiadi returned in the second round of the 2026 Miami Open women's doubles. She was eliminated with her partner Ingrid Neel, a tennis player of American-Estonian blood.
Adila/Ingrid picked up the suitcase from the WTA 1000-level competition after losing through the super tiebreak with a final score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-10 against the American-Russian tennis player, Sofia Kenin/Liudmila Samsonova, in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, early morning WIB.
The match was tight and changeable. Neel/Aldila fell behind first after the opponent was effective in the first set, but they managed to bounce back in the second set with a more solid game to force the match to a super tie break.
Statistics show that Neel/Aldila are superior in first serve accuracy with 82 percent compared to 64 percent for their opponents. They also recorded 10 consecutive points to force the match to continue to the deciding set.
Overall, both pairs collected 63 points. Neel/Aldila even created 17 break point opportunities, but only six were converted, while Kenin/Samsonova converted six of the seven they got.
The match became tighter in the tie-break phase. Neel/Aldila failed to maintain consistency in the final points so that Kenin/Samsonova managed to close the match with a 10-6 victory to ensure their step continued to the last eight.
Before Aldila, the defeat was felt by Janice Tjen. The 23-year-old Jakarta-born tennis player was eliminated early in the first round of the women's doubles with her partner Chan Hao Ching from Taiwan.
Janice/Chan's journey stopped early after losing to fourth-seeded pair Elise Mertens (Belgium) and Zhang Shuai (China) in a straight two-set match that ended 3-6, 4-6.
Janice's fight in the women's singles tournament also ended so disappointing. He immediately suffered a defeat in the first round against Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva, in a three-set match 6-3, 3-6, 4-6.
