Leylah Fernandez vs Janice Tjen prediction
Leylah Fernandez will seek some quick-fire revenge against Janice Tjen in Dubai.
The Canadian was upset 6-2 7-6 by the Indonesian at the Australian Open and has had a torrid start the the year.
However, the 23-year-old finally picked up just a second win of 2026 when she took down 13th seed Liudmila Samsonova in the first round here.
It tees up a second meeting with Tjen that will surely have the former US Open finalist highly motivated to set the record straight.
Tjen has been giving real glimpses of her talent in main draws early in the season without really threatening to push deep.
She has a powerhouse forehand when allowed to unleash and that could cause Leylah more problems, but we fancy the world number 27 to learn from that match in Melbourne and grind out another win to help kick-start her campaign.
