Polina Kudermetova meets Janice Tjen on October 26 in the 1st Round of the Guangzhou Open, a hard court tournament in Guangzhou. Kudermetova, ranked 105, comes in off a loss three days ago after playing four matches in two weeks. Tjen sits at 46 and has not played since six days prior, though she too has competed four times in the last fortnight.
The two have never faced each other. Kudermetova won 3 of her last 5 matches but stands at 50% on hard courts over a recent stretch. Tjen has won only 2 of her last 5 and carries a two-match losing streak, though her hard court record sits marginally higher at 55%. Both players fell to Mirra Andreeva and Liudmila Samsonova recently, while Kudermetova lost to Leylah Fernandez and Tjen defeated her.
Kudermetova constructs points across the court with solid groundstrokes and all-around court sense. Tjen builds her game around an aggressive serve, a weapon that becomes more valuable on hard courts. Kudermetova must consistently break down Tjen's service games and dictate rallies from the baseline, while Tjen needs to convert her first-serve opportunities into quick points and avoid extended exchanges.
