Backed by experience on grass, Ashlyn Krueger seeks an upset win over No.2 seed Janice Tjen at the 2026 Birmingham Open.
Momentum: Janice Tjen gutted out a three-set win over Nao Hibino 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 to earn her first win on grass since turning pro on the WTA Tour. Indonesia’s No.1 women’s singles player got the job done by winning 70 percent of the first serves and converting 5 breakpoints.
Ashlyn Krueger swept another Japanese, Himeno Sakatsume, 6-4, 6-3, to kick start her grass-court season. Krueger held all her serve and seized two breakpoint conversions to secure the comfortable win.
Matchup: Krueger is bringing more grass-court experience into the match with an 18-11 record on the surface. Tjen is the No.2 seed, but this is only the first time she is competing in a grass-court tournament.
Key Stats: Krueger is 3-0 at the 2026 Birmingham Open, having earned the first two wins during the qualifying stages. Tjen may be more skilled on paper, but she’s still learning to play on the fastest surface in tennis.
