JAKARTA - The extraordinary achievement was again made by Indonesia's mainstay daughter, Aldila Sutjiadi. He managed to secure a place in the semifinals of the French Open 2023 mixed doubles number.

Paired with Dutch tennis player Matwe Middelkoop, Aldila overcomes the resistance of Chan Hao-ching (Taipei)/Fabrice Martin (France). After going through a fierce match in the first set, Aldila/Matwe won with a final score of 7-5, 6-2.

Aldila's victory with Middelkoop came after the drama in the women's doubles sector of the French Open, Sunday, June 4. Aldila, who was paired with Japanese tennis player Miyu Kato, was disqualified from a third-half match after a ball girl was accidentally hit by Kato's seemingly harmless blow.

"Thank you everyone for all the support and good messages I have received in the past few days. I feel sad and disappointed but let's continue and stay positive," wrote Aldila on her Instagram account.

In the mixed doubles semifinals, Wednesday, Aldila will meet her partner in the women's doubles Kato.

"The first match at Simonne-Mathieu tomorrow at 11 p.m. or 4 pm Indo Time! Will play against my doubles partner @miyukato1121 and the two of us will have a great match together," said Aldila.

Kato, who took part with Germany's Tim Putz in the mixed doubles sector, managed to beat Brazil's Luisa Stefani/Rafael Matos 7-6(7/5), 6-2 in the quarter-finals.

"Thank you for your sincere support and message. I really appreciate it. Congratulations to Aldila for your victory today!" Kato said in the caption column while uploading a photo of himself with Aldila on Instagram.

"Stay positive & move forward, I will have a great mixed doubles Semi-Final against my amazing friends and competitors, @dila11. May the Best Team win!"
