Leylah Fernandez vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich prediction

Leylah Fernandez came from behind to edge out Elise Mertens and reach the round of 16 in Ningbo.

The Canadian delivered at the death as she ousted the Belgian seventh seed by a 2-6 6-3 7-5 scoreline. 

Fernandez will now face Aliaksandra Sasnovich for a fifth time after the Belarusian defeated Daria Kasatkina 6-4 6-2.

The match-up is tied at 2-2 but Leylah leads 2-0 on hardcourts with world number 122 Sasnovich only prevailing on clay. 

With that in mind, this seems like a clear pick, although a high number of games is an option with both players having won at least one set in three of their four meetings.
