Eddie and Alastair run through Tennis Asia's Top 5 Asian women of the year in tennis. Who made the cut and who just missed out?

Eddie and Alastair review a great end to the year for rising Indonesian star, Janice Tjen, who won her first WTA singles title in Chennai, and even won the doubles title alongside compatriot Aldila Sutjiadi. It was very much a fitting end to a remarkable year for the Jakarta native. Thailand's Lanlana Tararudee and Taiwanese player Joanna Garland also impressed with semifinal runs.

Elsewhere Alex Eala finished off her season in Hong Kong with an exciting loss to eventual champion Victoria Mboko, and Coleman Wong came up short at the Seoul Challenger with a loss to Japanese player Sho Shimabukuro. Alastair offers some interesting and at times amusing insights into what was a very successful tournament in Seoul!

Also discussed are the remaining ATP Challenger Tour events coming up, including those as far afield as Pakistan and Bahrain!

Eddie and Lia reflect on a US Open that saw big breakthroughs for several Asian players in both the women's and men's draws. Naomi Osaka, Alex Eala, Janice Tjen and Coleman Wong put in some superb performances to give us much to be excited about for the future.

Eddie and Alastair discuss the US Open men's single draw, particularly the prospects for the Asian players such as Coleman Wong, Bu Yunchaokete, Jerry Shang, Alexander Bublik and Shintaro Mochizuki.

Eddie and Lia (islandtennisgirl) preview the women's draw at the 2025 US Open, focusing (mostly).on the Asian players such as Naomi Osaka, Elena Rybakina, Janice Tjen, Alex Eala and Wang Xinyu.

Eddie and Alastair host a special edition of Tennis Asia Podcast focusing on 23-year-old Janice Tjen from Indonesia. After graduating from Pepperdine University in the US, Janice went professional in June last year when she had no WTA singles ranking. Incredibly, a little over a year later, she's just entered the world's top 150, becoming just the third Indonesia player to do so. Not only that, she has made the qualifying draw for the 2025 US Open, giving her a chance of qualifying for her first major tournament and following in the footsteps of Indonesian tennis legend, former world no. 19 Yayuk Basuki.
