Biography

Widjojo competed in the men's singles, doubles and mixed doubles draws at the 1968 Australian Championships.[1] All of his other Grand Slam appearances were in the men's doubles, at the 1970 Australian Open, 1971 French Open and 1971 US Open. He won a Grand Prix doubles title in 1971, when he teamed up with countryman Atet Wijono at a clay court tournament in Senigallia, Italy. They defeated the home pairing of Ezio Di Matteo and Antonio Zugarelli.[2] His best singles performance was a quarter-final appearance at the Jakarta Open in 1973.

A regular Davis Cup representative for Indonesia, Widjojo played in a total of 20 ties for his national team. His representative career included a win over Australian player Colin Dibley in 1971 and a rare Davis Cup triple bagel when he beat Hong Kong's Po Tao in 1973.[3] By the time he made his last appearance in 1981 he had played 37 matches, for 12 wins. He was posthumously awarded a Davis Cup Commitment Award in 2015.[4]
