JAKARTA Indonesia's famous tennis player, Aldila Sutjiadi, is paired with Canadian tennis player, Leylah Fernandez, at the Wuhan Open 2024 which has been going on since last weekend.

The pair will play their first match against Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia and Germany's Laura Siegemund on Tuesday, October 8, 2024.

"Facing the first match in Wuhan, I am very optimistic and excited with Leylah," Aldila said as received in a statement.

Aldila and Leylah previously took part at the 2024 China Open last week. In the tournament, their journey stopped in the round of 16.

At that time, Aldila and Leylah showed an impressive performance against the Italian pair, Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini. This is the pair who won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

At the duel, Aldila/Leylah took the lead at the beginning of the first set and excelled in service. However, in the end they had to give up because they lost focus on important moments.

Aldila said that she and Leylah had undergone hard training and were trying to build chemistry. Therefore, he also hopes that they can reach the top party of the WTA 1000 level tournament.

"Please always pray and support me so that I can continue to achieve achievements and make Indonesia proud," said Aldila.

After Wuhan, Aldila is scheduled to continue their journey in several important Asian tournaments, including in Ningbo and Hong Kong.

This series of tournaments is very crucial to boost Aldila's ranking, which is currently in the 45th position in the world as of October 1, 2024, after previously recording a record high at the 26th position in the world on October 23, 2023.

These tournaments are also part of Aldila's preparations for the 2025 season and improve its performance in international events.
