World number 40 Janice Tjen takes on Yulia Putintseva, the world number 75, in the first round at the Miami Open. This will be their first career meeting, and the winner will play third seed Elena Rybakina for a place in the third round. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Janice Tjen is seeking to end a three-match losing streak. The Indonesian star, who was last in action at Indian Wells, is having a topsy-turvy season.
She has compiled a 5-8 record, playing solely on hard courts. Tjen is making her Miami debut and has a third-round finish in Dubai as her highlight of the season.
Yulia Putintseva made her Miami debut in 2013 and has appeared in the main draw 10 times, counting this season. She has lost a first-round tie just once in her last six appearances and qualified for the quarter-finals in the 2024 edition.
As she is having a stronger season than Tjen, she will be confident of claiming another first-round victory this week. The Kazakh, who was last in action at Indian Wells, has compiled a 9-6 record and has a fourth-round exit in Melbourne as her season highlight.
Putintseva has lost just one first-round tie this season.
