JAKARTA - Indonesian women's tennis player Janice Tjen crashed out in the first round of the 2026 Merida Open after losing to Colombian player Camila Osorio.
The 23-year-old tennis player, who is the sixth seed in the WTA 500 tournament, was forced to only go through the two-set match directly 4-6 and 3-6 in Merida, Mexico, on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, WIB morning or local time Tuesday.
Janice actually started the first set well and took advantage of two break points to take a 4-1 lead. However, he immediately lost his serve twice so that his opponent tied the score.
In the ninth game, Osorio played well to turn the tide. The 24-year-old then took advantage of another break point in the 10th game to secure the victory in that set.
Janice also had a 2-1 lead in the second set after taking advantage of the only break point in the set. Unfortunately, he then immediately lost his serve so Osorio chased.
Both Janice and Osorio managed to maximize their serves in the next two games so that the position was equal again. However, Janice's struggle after that was stalled.
This is the second WTA 500 tournament played by Janice in her career. The Jakarta-born tennis player previously made her debut at the Abu Dhabi Open 2026 earlier this month.
When appearing there, he managed to reach the second round of the tournament. He won the match against Maya Joint and then surrendered to the second seed Liudmila Samsonova in the next phase.
Overall this is the seventh tournament that Janice has participated in this year's calendar. Of all of them, her farthest journey was to reach the third round of the 2026 Dubai Championship last week.
