Janice Tjen

Janice Tjen, India's number one at 24, builds her game around steady pressure rather than raw power. Ranked 35th with 1,293 points, she has won 15 career titles, a figure that reflects her consistency over flash. On court, her right-handed groundstrokes are flat and deep, forcing opponents into high-risk passing shots from defensive positions. Her movement is economical, allowing her to absorb pace and redirect rallies without losing shape.

This season’s 10-10 record and a 48 percent win rate point to a player capable of competing at WTA level, though still seeking a clear breakthrough. Tjen’s effectiveness comes from her footwork patterns and court sense, which create angles off both wings. She tends to win by out-rallying rivals, forcing errors through persistent depth and safe changes of direction, a style that suits longer matches and tough conditions.
