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.^{[ citation needed ]}

In 2025, Tjen qualified for her first Grand Slam main draw with a 6–1, 6–2 win over no. 3 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. ^[9] 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. ^{[10] [11] [12]} Tjen lost in the second round to Emma Raducanu in straight sets. ^[13]
