JAKARTA - Aldila Sutjiadi managed to reach the semifinals of the women's doubles event at the 2026 Morocco Open. He and his partner, Vera Zvonareva, passed the test in the quarterfinals by stopping the Corley/Ivana Corley sisters.
Aldila/Vera, who are the top seeds in the WTA 250 tournament, survived the tournament after defeating their opponents through a super tie-break with a final score of 6-4, 6-7 (9), and 10-5 in Rabat, Morocco, on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 local time.
In the duel, Aldila/Vera secured the first set by stealing the lead from the ace and the percentage of points obtained from the first serve. On the other hand, the opponent's pair made many double faults and lost the service in the first game.
In the second set, the Corley brothers appeared more aggressive and forced a tight duel until the score was 5-5. Aldila/Vera then managed to break away from the 5-5 position by winning the 11th game because the opponent lost the serve.
However, the American pair managed to convert one of three break points in the next game to tie the score. The two pairs then played a tight tie-break which was eventually won by the Corley brothers with a score of 9-7.
Aldila/Vera then managed to bounce back in the super tie-break round. They dominated the beginning of the game to get a 4-1 lead. Their points also flowed smoothly after that to win the match in one hour and 47 minutes.
In the semifinal round, Aldila/Vera will meet Nika Radisic/Katarzyna Piter. The Slovenian and Polish pair qualified for the semifinals after defeating third-seeded Shuko Aoyama/Liang En-shuo in two sets 7-5 and 6-4.
Aldila is Indonesia's last hope to secure the title from the 2026 Morocco Open. He competed there with Janice Tjen who competed in the singles, but had to pack his bags in the second round of the tournament.
Janice, who is the first seed, surrendered in the three-set match 3-6, 6-3, and 0-6 against Colombian player Camila Osorio. It was her second defeat against Osorio in a competitive arena after losing two sets at the Merida Open in February 2026.
Next, Janice will appear at the Roland Garros Grand Slam next week in Paris, France. It is the third Grand Slam tournament he has participated in his career after appearing at last year's US Open from the qualifying round and the Australian Open earlier this year.
