Tjen comes into the match with strong momentum after defeating Dayana Yastremska (2-1) in the opening round. The Indonesian had previously beaten Viktorija Golubic (2-1) in Cincinnati, although she suffered losses to Mirra Andreeva (0-2) and Liudmila Samsonova (0-2). Her latest victory should give her confidence, while her aggressive baseline game can be particularly effective on a fast hard court.
Starodubtseva has also started the Monterrey tournament positively, defeating Lilli Tagger (2-0) in her opening match. However, her recent overall record has been inconsistent, with losses to Daria Snigur (0-2), Maya Joint (1-2), Sloane Stephens (1-2), and Anna Blinkova (0-2). Her limited recent match activity also means she may need time to regain her rhythm against an opponent who has already played a competitive three-set match in Monterrey.

From a tactical perspective, Tjen should have the advantage in terms of current match rhythm and confidence. Her ability to attack from the baseline and take time away from Starodubtseva could put the Ukrainian under pressure, particularly if Tjen serves consistently. Starodubtseva will need to extend rallies and force errors from her opponent, but Tjen's recent performances suggest she can maintain a high level for long periods.
Tjen's stronger momentum and superior recent results make her the more attractive side at 1.63. Starodubtseva's opening-round win is encouraging, but her recent losses against several different opponents suggest that maintaining consistency over an entire match could be difficult.
