JAKARTA - Indonesian women's tennis player, Aldila Sutjiadi, recorded a proud achievement at the Wimbledon 2023 event. She managed to break into the semifinals in the mixed doubles sector paired with Dutch male tennis player Matwe Middelkoop.

Aldila's achievements in the international tennis scene cannot be doubted. He has made several achievements that make Indonesia proud.

Indonesian tennis legend Yayuk Basuki said Aldila's achievements are expected to inspire young Indonesian players in the future.

"I think this hopefully can be followed and can motivate his younger siblings to follow in the footsteps of Aldila," said Yayuk.

Playing on the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club grass field, London, England, at that time Aldila/Matwe had to lose to the Chinese and Belgian pair Xu Yifan and Joran Vliegen with a score of 1-6, 6-3, and 3-6.

Even though it was stopped in the top four, the 28-year-old's achievements were very slick because he was able to get past the score of the tennis legend, Yayuk Basuki, who penetrated the quarter-finals of Wimbledon 1997, the women's singles number.

Apart from the categories of numbers that were followed, said Yayuk, the achievement of the birth of May 2, 1995, was very proud of Indonesia.

"Aldilla is a good step and opens the door to the professional world," said Yayuk.

"The two other athletes or tennis players so they can see 'we can', although indeed, don't look at the mixed double or double sector, but there is a representative of Indonesian players there that is already something and he has already reached the semifinals," he added.

Aldila's colleague also expressed his appreciation when he won gold at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, Christopher Rungkat.

"Aldilla is also my partner from the Asian Games, I must be very proud. That's an extraordinary effort, a tennis player can enter the world semifinals," said the man who is familiarly called Christo.

In line with Yayuk, Christo also hopes that the brilliant achievements made by female players ranked 864 singles and ranked 32 world doubles by WTA Ranking as of July 3 can also inspire Indonesian junior players.

"Hopefully, as Ms. Yayuk said, it can be an inspiration for her younger siblings, for the next generation of Indonesian tennis players in the future," said Christo.
