JAKARTA - The journey of the women's doubles Janice Tjen/Aldila Sutjiadi at the 2026 WTA 250 Nottingham Open continues. The Indonesian pair secured a semi-final ticket after dominating in the quarter-finals.
Janice/Aldila successfully eliminated the Czech Republic pair, Miriam Skoch/Jesika Maleckova, with a straight two-set victory 6-1 and 6-2 at the Nottingham Tennis Centre, England, on Thursday, June 18, 2026, WIB night.
Since the match started, Janice/Aldila immediately showed their quality as one of the pairs to be reckoned with in the grass court tournament. Aggressive and consistent play made it difficult for opponents to develop rhythm.
The dominance of the Indonesian pair was seen from their ability to take advantage of the opportunities available. Janice/Aldila managed to convert five of the seven break points they got throughout the match.
Meanwhile, Skoch/Maleckova actually had eight chances to break the Indonesian pair's serve. However, all of these opportunities were successfully thwarted thanks to the calm and solid defense of Janice/Aldila.
Service performance is also one of the keys to victory. Janice/Aldila was able to win 72 percent of the first service points and remain stable on the second service with a record of winning points reaching 70 percent.
On the other hand, the Czech Republic pair was unable to maintain their consistency in serving. Eight double faults committed by Skoch/Maleckova further opened the way for Janice/Aldila to control the match.
Overall, Janice/Aldila collected 52 points and even recorded seven consecutive points in one momentum of the match. This record shows how strong the Indonesian pair's control over the course of the match.
This victory brought Janice Tjen/Aldila Sutjiadi to the semifinals of the 2026 Nottingham Open. A more difficult challenge awaits them in the four-big phase.
In the semifinals, Janice/Aldila will face the British host pair, Harriet Dart/Maia Lumsden. This meeting is predicted to be interesting because it brings its own story for Janice.
Dart/Lumsden is a pair that Janice defeated when she won the 2026 Birmingham Classic women's doubles title two weeks ago with Australian Talia Gibson.
Now, Janice has the opportunity to face the same pair, but with a different partner. Together with Aldila Sutjiadi, Janice will try to prove that his performance on the British grass court is not just a momentary surprise.
