Widjaja, a right-handed player, is originally from São Roque near the city of São Paulo and is of Indonesian descent.[1]
Coached by her father Tony, she was only 14 when she began competing in local ITF Women's Circuit tournaments.[2] In 2004, she had her breakthrough year when she won three $10k events in the space of a month, at Guayaquil, La Paz and Asuncion. Her biggest tournament win was a $25k tournament in San Luis Potosi in 2006.[3]
Despite ending 2007 at a career-best of No. 186 in the world, she decided to retire from professional tennis. Over the next few years, she instead attended college in the United States and played collegiate tennis for the Pacific Tigers in Stockton, California.[1]
She represented Brazil in a total of ten Fed Cup ties for a 6–4 overall record, with all six wins coming in singles.
