Janice Tjen (born 6 May 2002) is an Indonesian professional tennis player. ^[4] She has a career-high WTA singles ranking of world No. 103, achieved on 15 September 2025 and a doubles ranking of No. 194, achieved on that same date. ^[5] She is currently the No. 1 singles player from Indonesia.

In the Billie Jean King Cup, Tjen has a win-loss record of 2–2.

Early life

Tjen was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. ^[6] She was persuaded to take up tennis by Priska Madelyn Nugroho, a friend and one of the top Indonesian junior players at the time. ^[7] The high costs involved with turning professional meant that Tjen and her parents decided to develop her skills through college tennis first; Tjen played at the University of Oregon, then transferred to Pepperdine University in 2021, graduating in 2024 with a degree in sociology. ^{[7] [8]}

Career

Tjen was selected to represent Indonesia at the 2022 Asian Games and won the bronze medal in doubles while partnered with Aldila Sutjiadi. ^{[9] [10]}

In August 2025, Tjen qualified for her first Grand Slam main draw with a straight sets win over third qualifying seed Aoi Ito at the 2025 US Open. She became the first Indonesian player in a major since Angelique Widjaja at the 2004 US Open. ^[11] In the first round, she defeated 24th seed Veronika Kudermetova in three sets, becoming the first Indonesian woman to win a Grand Slam match since Widjaja at the 2003 Wimbledon Championships. ^{[12] [13] [14]} Tjen lost in the second round to Emma Raducanu in straight sets. ^[15]

During her WTA 250 debut at the São Paulo Open in September 2025, Tjen became the first Indonesian woman to reach a WTA quarterfinal since Angelique Widjaja at the 2004 Wismilak International. ^[16] After defeating third-seed Alexandra Eala in the quarterfinals and sixth-seed Francesca Jones in the semifinals, ^[17] Tjen became the first Indonesian player to reach a WTA final since Widjaja in 2002. ^[18] She lost the final to Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah. ^[19]
