Widjaja started playing tennis at the age of four. She first began playing at ITF juniors events in 1998 at the age of 13. Her first professional event was an ITF event in Jakarta in April 1999, when she was 14 years old.
She enjoyed considerable success as a junior player. In 2001 she won the singles competition of the Junior Championships at Wimbledon, defeating Dinara Safina 6–4 0–6 7–5. In so doing, she became the first Indonesian to win any title at Wimbledon. In 2002 she won the doubles competition of the Australian Open Junior Championships, partnered by Gisela Dulko. That year, she also won the singles competition of the Junior Championships at the French Open. She reached a peak Junior rank of No. 2.

She was the youngest Indonesian ever to win a WTA singles title. Her WTA singles rank prior to the tournament was No. 579, and as such was the lowest-ranked player ever to win a WTA singles title.
2002 was her most successful year in Grand Slam singles competition, reaching the second round at three consecutive Majors. At the French Open, she defeated Jill Craybas in the first round. She was beaten by Evie Dominikovic in the second round. At Wimbledon, she beat 15th seed Anna Smashnova in the first round, before losing to Meilen Tu in round two.
