At the French Open, she entered into two categories: the women's doubles, and for the first time at a major, the mixed doubles. She was controversially disqualified in the third round of the former category, after her partner Kato tried to pass the ball to a ball girl but accidentally hit her. In the mixed doubles, she paired up with Matwé Middelkoop, reaching the semifinals where they lost to Sutjiadi's women's doubles partner Kato, who paired up with Tim Pütz. This was Sutjiadi's best ever finish at a Grand Slam championship up until then.
