Emma Raducanu vs Janice Tjen Match Preview

Former World No. 10 Emma Raducanu has well and truly found her footing in the second half of 2025. Reaching the Miami Open quarterfinal in March provided a solid foundation for the 22-year-old to kick-start her rise to ascendancy. After a mixed bag in the clay court season, the World No. 36 impressed with a quarterfinal run at Queen’s Club and final four charge in Washington DC. Searching for a maiden championship run this year, Raducanu’s 25-17 record will boost her confidence heading into this contest.

In her first season on the professional tour, Indonesian breakout sensation Janice Tjen has already captured an unbelievable six ITF trophies and 59 match wins. With a practically flawless outing in the qualifiers, the 23-year-old from Jakarta continued the jaw-dropping run by outlasting 24th seed Kudermetova in the Round of 128. The first player from her country to win a Grand Slam singles match in over 20 years, Tjen has an immaculate 85% success ratio in all competitions. She is currently ranked No. 149 in the world.

Emma Raducanu vs Janice Tjen US Open 2025 Prediction

As much as we would love for the Tjen fairytale to keep going, it seems like Raducanu will call the shots on Wednesday. The British starlet is striking the ball more fearlessly than ever before, leaving no trace of half-heartedness in her groundstrokes. One can expect the Indonesian to put up a valiant fight and look to match the 22-year-old from the baseline. If she can beat Raducanu in terms of first serve points won, there is an outside chance for Tjen to spring a surprise. However, we anticipate Raducanu’s forehand power to push her over the line.

Prediction: Emma Raducanu in three sets.
