Early life
Tjen was born in Jakarta, Indonesia.[6] She was persuaded to take up tennis by Priska Madelyn Nugroho, a friend and one of the top Indonesian junior players at the time.[7] The high costs involved with turning professional meant that Tjen and her parents decided to develop her skills through college tennis first; Tjen played at the University of Oregon, then transferred to Pepperdine University in 2021, graduating in 2024 with a degree in sociology.[7][8]
