RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta – Indonesian tennis player Aldila Sutjiadi delivered a major surprise at the 2026 WTA 1000 Canadian Open in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday, August 8, 2026.

Teaming up with Erin Routliffe of New Zealand, Aldila defeated the fourth‑seeded pair and 2026 Wimbledon champions, Kristina Mladenovic and Guo Hanyu, 6‑3, 6‑7(4), 10‑5.

Aldila and Routliffe immediately applied pressure with aggressive play from the early stages, a strategy that earned them a 6‑3 win in the first set.

Mladenovic and Guo raised their resistance in the second set and forced a 6‑6 tie. The French‑Chinese duo then claimed the tiebreak 7‑4, sending the match into a super tiebreak.

In the decisive phase, Aldila and Routliffe regained their rhythm and maintained control to secure a 10‑5 victory.

Their ability to capitalize on key moments proved crucial. Match statistics show that Aldila/Routliffe converted five of seven break points, while Mladenovic/Guo converted only three of 11.

Aldila and Routliffe recorded three aces and eight double faults throughout the match. Mladenovic and Guo did not produce any aces and committed ten double faults.

Out of 151 total points played, Aldila/Routliffe won 78 points, while Mladenovic/Guo collected 73.

The victory extends Aldila and Routliffe’s strong momentum following their title run at the WTA 500 Mubadala DC Open last week. Despite entering the Canadian Open unseeded, the pair delivered one of their best performances of the season.

In the round of 16, Aldila and Routliffe will face Olivia Nicholls and Tereza Mihalikova. The match is scheduled for Monday, August 10, after Nicholls/Mihalikova defeated Cristina Bucsa and Eudice Chong 4‑6, 7‑5, 11‑9. (Gusti Panji)
