Leylah Fernandez of Canada gets a shot at redemption as she faces Janice Tjen of Indonesia in the second round of the 2026 Dubai Tennis Championship.
Current Form:
Fernandez has an opportunity to get past the second round for the first time this season when she plays Tjen for the second time this year. Fernandez, who registered a comeback win over Liudmila Samsonova 5-7, 7-5, 3-6 in the first round in Dubai, is eyeing some payback against Tjen after losing to Indonesia’s No.1 player 4-6, 3-6 at the 2026 Australian Open.
Tjen made it through to the second round of a WTA 1000 tournament again, this time, defeating Dayana Yastremska 6-4, 6-1 in the first round at the 2026 Dubai Tennis Championship. The Indonesian managed to win the opening match of the last four tournaments she played, but hasn’t yet established a winning streak this year.

Our Leylah Fernandez vs Janice Tjen Prediction
Tjen will repeat against Fernandez, but this time she pulls it off in three sets 6-4, 5-7, 7-6.
Expect a more aggressive Fernandez in her rematch with Tjen as she tries to erase the memory of her loss to the Indonesian at the Australian Open. Coming off a morale-boosting win over Liudmila Samsonova, the Canadian is coming into the match with renewed hope that she can start rattling off successive wins consistently.
62 percent of bets at DraftKings have gone to Fernandez, who is booked as a -132 favorite in this match. However, Tjen still looks like a strong pick to win at +108 moneyline because her all-court play style poses a myriad of problems for Fernandez, especially in their first encounter, where she just sucked the energy out of the Canadian.
Fernandez will push this match to a third set, but Tjen comes through in clutch to advance into the third round.
Our betting prediction for Janice Tjen vs. Leylah Fernandez: Janice Tjen will win.
