Magdalena Frech vs Leylah Fernandez prediction
Magdalena Frech ended a six-match losing run in the first-round of the Strasbourg Open as she beat Talia Gibson in straight sets. Frech crucially broke as Gibson was serving for the first set, going on to win it herself after dominating the tiebreak. She went a break down in the second but reeled off the final four games in a row to win 7-6 (0) 6-3.
She now takes on Leylah Fernandez. The 23-year-old’s form has picked up during this clay court swing as she reached back-to-back quarter-finals in Stuttgart and Madrid. The Canadian was agonisingly close to making the last four of the former event, but she squandered match points against world number two Elena Rybakina. She suffered an early loss in Rome, but got back on track in the first-round of this tournament as she beat Leolia Jeanjean 6-1 7-5.
Fernandez is the clear favourite for this match, and she will be eyeing up a third quarter-final of the season on clay.
Magdalena Frech vs Leylah Fernandez tip: Leylah Fernandez to win 2-0
