A previous Canadian Open finalist, Liudmila Samsonova will be hoping to do well this week, and it's probably fair to say that she's got a lovely opportunity to start on the right foot. Janice Tjen is currently ranked above Samsonova, but the Indonesian player has previously struggled to be at her best against the Russian, losing 6-2, 6-1 when the two clashed back in April.
Liudmila Samsonova is the big favorite in the early betting, but this is definitely one of those matches where the player strongly fancied by the early market could be supported even more. In other words, odds of -189 look too lenient to ignore. This will be the third time that the pair have met in 2026, and in each of the previous two matches, the Russian has made light work of winning, doing so in straight sets on both occasions. Simply, she could be -225 to win this match, so odds of -189 offer value for money.

Our Janice Tjen vs Liudmila Samsonova Prediction
Janice Tjen hasn't been in great form of late, while her recent efforts against Liudmila Samsonova do not exactly point towards her being successful here. In contrast, the Russian knows how to play well at the Canadian Open, previously reaching the final, while she brushed her Indonesian opponent aside whe the players last met back in April. That was on clay, but just two months prior, Samsonova won in straight sets against Tjen on a hard court, again dominating. On that evidence, there's only one winner here.
