Widjaja, a right-handed player, is originally from São Roque near the city of São Paulo and is of Indonesian descent. [1]
Coached by her father Tony, she was only 14 when she began competing in local ITF Women's Circuit tournaments.

Her biggest tournament win was a $25k tournament in San Luis Potosi in 2006. [3]
She featured in a WTA Tour main draw for the first time at the 2007 Copa Colsanitas (Bogota), in the women's doubles with Larissa Carvalho. They were defeated in the first round by Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci. Straight after that, she travelled to Acapulco and made the singles main draw of the Abierto Mexicano, as a lucky loser from qualifying, where she was beaten again in the opening round, by sixth seed Gisela Dulko. [4] She played in the singles qualifying draws for the 2007 French Open, Wimbledon Championships and US Open major events, as well as competing for Brazil at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro.

She represented Brazil in a total of ten Fed Cup ties for a 6–4 overall record, with all six wins coming in singles.
