JAKARTA - Tennis player Aldila Sutjiadi was immediately eliminated in the first round of the Australian Open 2022 women's doubles.

Aldila who played with the Thai pair Peangtarn Plipuech had to go home early after playing the match for 58 minutes at Melbourne Park, Australia.

The 26-year-old Indonesian tennis player was beaten by the fifth-seeded pair Alexa Guarachi from Chile and Nicole Melichar-Martinez, with the final score of 6-4, 6-2.

"Thank you for the support. The first set actually had a chance to win but couldn't take it," said Dila, Aldila's nickname, in an official statement received by VOI.

The owner of the 2018 Asian Games gold medal qualified for Australia with wildcard facilities. He is one of 64 players to make their Australian Open debut this year.

Playing in the Australian Open is Aldila's highest achievement in his career.

Apart from Aldila, Indonesia also still has a representative for the grand slam event earlier this season, namely Christopher Rungkat.

Rungkat plays in the men's doubles number. He was paired with a tennis player from the Philippines, namely Treat Huey.
