Tjen Becomes First Indonesian to Win at Australian Open in 28 Years

Janice Tjen clocked another milestone in her rapid rise as she became the first Indonesian to win a match at the Australian Open in 28 years on Tuesday.

Unseeded Tjen stunned Canadian 22nd seed Leylah Fernandez 6-2, 7-6 (7/1) to surge into



the second round in Melbourne and add to her growing list of scalps. 

Tjen, who this time last year was ranked 413 but is now the world number 59, is the first Indonesian woman to win a match at the major since since Yayuk Basuki in 1998.
