INDONESIAN tennis player Aldila Sutjiadi is optimistic that she can win the next mixed doubles match at Wimbledon 2024.
Aldila and American Jackson Withrow will face fourth seeds Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori of Italy in the second round of the mixed doubles.
Their match had to be postponed due to rain that poured down on the All England Club area, London, England, when the score was 6-3, 3-6, tiebreak 7-7 Errani served.
“It was a tough, tense and dramatic match. We had to adapt to the wet field conditions,” said Aldila as quoted by Antara, Wednesday (10/7).
“I am optimistic that together with Jackson we can win the next match. We will fight as hard as we can.”
Aldila’s struggle in mixed doubles began following she was defeated in the last 16 of the women’s doubles with American tennis player Asia Muhammad.

Aldila/Asia lost 5-7, 3-6 to Timea Babos/Nadiia Kichenok.
“We were actually able to put up resistance and our strengths were balanced, but the defeat in the first set was very unfortunate and they gained momentum and continued to press in the second set,” said Aldila.
“Hopefully I and Asia can perform better in the next tournament.”
