Janice Tjen eyes the end of a three-match losing skid when she takes on Yulia Putintseva in the first round of the 2026 Miami Open on Wednesday.
Current Form:
Janice Tjen will take on a difficult opponent, Yulia Putintseva, seeking to end a three-match losing streak that began in a straight-set defeat to Amanda Anisimova in the fourth round of the 2026 Indian Wells Open. Tjen, one of the highly-touted rising stars on the WTA Tour in the past two years, suffered first-round exits at the hands of Camila Osorio 4-6, 3-6 at Merida and Janice Cristian 6-4, 4-6, 6-7 at Indian Wells.
Since losing to Iva Jovic in the fourth round of the 2026 Australian Open, Yulia Putintseva has only played three matches. Putintseva lost in the first round of the 2026 Merida Open to Andorra’s Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva 4-6, 6-1, 4-6, but scored a straight-set win over former world No.2 Paula Badosa 4-6, 2-6. Putintseva lost in the next round to Clara Tauson 6-7, 2-6.

Our Janice Tjen vs Yulia Putintseva Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Janice Tjen tops Yulia Putintseva 6-4, 6-4
Tjen is too good to lose four in a row on the WTA Tour. She might be struggling to find her winning form lately, but the Indonesian will eventually get back into her winning ways sooner rather than later.
Putintseva isn’t an easy opponent to face for someone on a three-match losing skid. The Kazakh is a grinder who likes to take her foes deep into the rallies and waits until their game falls apart. However, I am still confident that Tjen’s variety and unorthodox play style will cause a ton of problems for Putintseva, who has a habit of losing her cool when matched up against a superior tactical player.
Our betting prediction for Yulia Putintseva vs Janice Tjen: Janice Tjen will win.
