Without a doubt, the central game tomorrow holds a lot of value. Karolina Pliskova, a 33-year-old Czech, is a legendary player and former WTA number one, but due to recent injuries, she has hardly been seen on the courts. In 2025, she played a total of three matches, one of which was this year. Now, Karolina can only play competitively in the first set and mostly against ITF level tennis players. The fact that she beat Stephens in the first round shouldn't be underestimated - it's even a big advantage for this game, considering that the American is also 32 and hasn't played much after serious injuries. In Peru, she played only six matches and lost them all. Karolina is now having a hard time keeping the ball in play and tries to hit winners, but makes too many mistakes, even when serving. On the other side, Indonesian representative Tjen Janice is very good at controlling the ball from the back, which has led to her success in ITF tournaments - seven wins and three losses in the finals, including one win in a higher-level challenger tournament and a loss in the final of a WTA level tournament. She is known for her stable and consistent play, which will not be pleasing to Pliskova. After her match against L. Fernandez in Peru, which she won in two sets, this should be an easy match for her.
