Janice Tjen’s Chennai Open final against Magda Linette postponed
The final has been moved to 9 November after heavy rain and poor visibility prevented play.
Janice Tjen and Magda Linette are now scheduled to contest the WTA Chennai Open singles final on 9 November 2026, with play set to begin at 11.00 local time, or 12.30 WIB. The WTA postponed the match by one day because of the weather.
The final was originally due to take place on 8 November, but heavy rain repeatedly delayed the start. Visibility on court remained too poor for the match to begin even after the rain stopped. The WTA cited weather conditions in its statement announcing the revised schedule.
Tjen entered the 2026 tournament as the top seed and defending champion. Linette, seeded third, also reached the Chennai Open final in 2022.
The doubles title had already been decided before the singles final was postponed. Naima Karamoko and Simona Waltert won the championship by defeating home pair Vaishnavi Adkar and Rutuja Bhosale 6-2, 6-0.
