  • Through two rounds she has conceded only six games and is into the US Open third round for the first time since her 2021 title run.
  • Tjen exited after a breakout week that included upsetting No. 24 seed Veronika Kudermetova and becoming the first Indonesian in over two decades to win a Grand Slam singles match.
