RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Indonesia’s Aldila Sutjiadi continued her impressive form on the North American hard‑court swing, advancing to the doubles quarterfinals of the Mubadala Citi DC Open 2026 in Washington, D.C.

Partnering with New Zealand’s Erin Routliffe, the second‑seeded duo defeated Sofia Kenin and Anastasia Potapova 6‑3, 7‑5 in one hour and 22 minutes on Tuesday, July 28, Antara reported.

The victory adds to Sutjiadi’s growing momentum following her breakthrough WTA 500 title at Bad Homburg in June and a mixed doubles quarterfinal run at Wimbledon earlier this month. For Sutjiadi and Routliffe, Washington serves as a key tune‑up ahead of the US Open.

The pair dominated early, racing to a 5‑0 lead in the opening set with three service breaks before closing it out 6‑3. The second set proved tighter, with both teams trading breaks until 5‑5.

At the decisive moment, Sutjiadi and Routliffe secured another break and held serve to seal the match 7‑5.

According to WTA statistics, the duo converted five of nine break points and won 71.4 percent of points on first serve, collecting 64 of 121 total points. Their next challenge will be a quarterfinal clash against home favorites Clervie Ngounoue and Anna Smith.

Aldila's participation in Washington is part of a packed US hard‑court schedule, highlighted by her first WTA 500 doubles title at the Bad Homburg Open in late June.

She also enjoyed a strong run at Wimbledon 2026, reaching the mixed doubles quarterfinals alongside Argentina's Guido Andreozzi, while her women's doubles campaign with Indonesian partner Janice Tjen ended in the second round.

While she continues her doubles campaign, Janice Tjen is set to begin her singles run against Rebecca Sramkova and will also compete in doubles alongside former champion Zhang Shuai. ***
