Jakarta, IO – Following her historic appearance on the international stage, Indonesia’s number one tennis star, Janice Tjen, will compete in her homeland on Saturday, December 12th. She will face Thailand’s Mananchaya Sawangkaew in the main match of the Janice Tjen Live: Game. Set. Celebrate event at Tennis Indoor Senayan.
This event brings together two of Southeast Asia’s most exciting tennis players in a special match in Indonesia. The main match will be played in a three-set format, with each game directly determining the final score—a fierce format that promises to provide tension from the first point to the last.
Janice Tjen’s success in winning the WTA Tour singles title at the 2025 Chennai Open marks a historic milestone for Indonesian tennis, ending a 23-year wait for a title in Indonesia. After achieving success at the international level, the athlete is now ready to return to action in her hometown, where her career began.
This was a special moment for the fans who often stayed up until the early hours of the morning to support Janice at various world championships, to be able to watch Indonesia’s proud tennis star in action live at home.
“The support from fans in Indonesia really means a lot to me, especially seeing them stay up late to watch my matches abroad,” said Janice.
“Being able to compete in Jakarta against Mananchaya and perform live in front of our home crowd will be a special moment. I hope this event will inspire the younger generation to become more involved with tennis and dare to dream of their future in it.”
