Jaqueline Cristian returns to Indian Wells after reaching round three here last year. In round one of the 2026 BNP Paribas Open, Cristian takes on fellow unseeded player Janice Tjen. Read our match prediction below.
A second round match against 29th seed Maya Joint awaits the winner.
Jaqueline Cristian is 41st in the live rankings, four places below her opponent. Cristian was above Tjen but is defending the points earned from last year’s impressive run in this outdoor hard court tournament.
The 27-year-old has reached one quarter-final on this surface in 2026. Her most recent tournament saw the Romanian make it to round three in Dubai, losing to Mirra Andreeva.
Janice Tjen is playing in this Sunshine Swing tournament for the first time. The Indonesian 23-year-old has only won five of her 12 matches played this year, all on this surface.
Tjen had failed to get past round two of a tournament until Dubai in mid-February. That saw her lose in round three to Amanda Anisimova, winning only four games.
Following that loss, Tjen was beaten by Camila Osorio in round one of the WTA event in Merida, again not winning a set.
We tip Cristian to win this match.
