Janice Tjen vs Polina Kudermetova prediction

Janice Tjen advanced to her first tour-level quarter-final of the season as she continued the defence of her Chennai Open title with a straight sets win over Joanna Garland. Tjen found herself 5-3 down in the first set but broke back and dominated the tiebreak to take the lead. That proved to be decisive as she raced clear in the second to win 7-6 (1) 6-1. The 24-year-old has now won her last seven matches at this event. 

The top seed faces Polina Kudermetova for a place in the last four. Kudermetova achieved her best WTA Tour of the season after a dominant win over Oksana Selekhmeteva. The sixth seed saved six out of seven break point opportunities and dropped just three games on her way to winning 6-3 6-0.

Tjen’s fine record at the event gives her the edge here, but Kudermetova will be her toughest test of the week so far.
