After winning all his singles matches at the Billie Jean King Cup, Janice Tjen will try to ride this momentum in Madrid, where she guns for a convincing win over Alina Charaeva. Tjen offers a +190 to win 2-0 sets.
Momentum: After leading Indonesia to a triumphant Billie Jean King Cup, Janice Tjen will kick off her clay-court campaign in Madrid. Tjen won all four of her singles matches in the Billie Jean King Cup Playoff Group 1, sweeping all these assignments without dropping a set. Still, Tjen enters the WTA 1000 Madrid seeking an end to a five-match losing streak on the WTA Tour.
Ranked 129th in the world, Charaeva qualified for the main draw of the 2026 Madrid Open after topping Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-3, 6-4 and Nikola Bartunkova 6-7, 6-2, 7-6 in the qualification stages. Charaeva is 13-9 on the season, though she only has two matches against top-100 players this year.
The Matchup: This is the first meeting between Tjen and Charaeva on the tour. Tjen owns an impressive 13-2 record on clay and a 79.4 percent win rate overall. Charaeva carries a decent 65 percent win rate on the red dirt.
Hot on the Board: Caesars Sportsbooks are expecting a tight match with both Tjen and Charaeva carrying -115 odds.

Our Janice Tjen vs Alina Charaeva Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Janice Tjen tops Alina Charaeva 6-3, 7-6
The Edge: Janice Tjen is 13-2 on clay for a reason. The Indonesian ace is also 4-1 against players outside the top-100 in 2026, and that loss came at the hands of former world No.1 Karolina Pliskova in the second round of the 2026 Australian Open. As for Charaeva, she should feel good about herself after beating Sasnovich and Bartunkova, who are both decent clay-court players. But again, does she still have enough juice in the tank to take down a more potent player on clay in Tjen?
The Play: Janice Tjen will win in straight sets. This match against Charaeva isn’t going to be a cakewalk, but I have deep trust in Tjen’s potential to deal a lot of damage on the clay. Moreover, the Indonesian rolls into the match with some momentum after winning all four of her singles matches in the Billie Jean King Cup playoffs. Her ability to strike the ball with pace, find unconventional angles, and mix it up with various shots makes Tjen a tough opponent on slow surfaces.
Our betting prediction for Janice Tjen vs. Alina Charaeva: Janice Tjen 2-0 Sets
