Janice Tjen cetak kejutan besar di Doha usai hajar Haddad Maia

Petenis putri Indonesia Janice Tjen mencatatkan kemenangan impresif di babak pertama Qatar Total Energies Open 2026 di Doha. Ia menekuk Beatrice Haddad Maia dari Brasil dengan skor telak 6-0, 6-1 pada 9 Februari 2026 waktu setempat.

Doha, VIVA – Petenis berusia 23 tahun Janice Tjen tampil gemilang berkat wildcard di turnamen level WTA 1000 ini. Pertandingan berlangsung selama satu jam sembilan menit, di mana Janice hanya kehilangan satu gim sepanjang laga. Awalnya, Janice dijadwalkan menghadapi Sorana Cirstea dari Rumania, tetapi Cirstea mundur setelah juara WTA 250 Transylvania Open pada 7 Februari. Posisi itu digantikan Haddad Maia, yang masuk sebagai lucky loser usai tersingkir di kualifikasi.

Di set pertama, Janice langsung dominan dengan servis kuat, mencatat dua ace dan mengonversi tiga dari tujuh break point untuk menang 6-0. Pada set kedua, Haddad Maia mencoba bangkit dengan dua ace-nya sendiri, tetapi Janice tetap disiplin, unggul di poin servis dan return, serta mengonversi dua dari tiga break point untuk menutup 6-1.

Kemenangan ini membawa Janice ke babak kedua, pencapaian positif di debutnya di level WTA 1000. Sebelumnya di WTA 500 Abu Dhabi, Janice mengalahkan Maya Joint dari Australia di babak pertama melalui rubber set, tapi kalah dari Liudmila Samsonova di babak kedua. Di ganda, berpasangan dengan Alexandra Eala dari Filipina, mereka tembus semifinal setelah singkirkan unggulan kedua Zhang Shuai dan Cristina Bucsa, meski langkah terhenti di semifinal Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open 2026.
