Mirra Andreeva vs Leylah Fernandez prediction

Mirra Andreeva has her eyes on a return to the top five as she plots what many believe will be an inevitable rise to the summit of the women’s game in 2026.

The 18-year-old progressed to the last eight in Brisbane and is down to ninth in the world, but will feel another good showing here will put her in good stead heading into the Australian Open. 

First up, the third seed takes on Leylah Fernandez, who managed just three games in an early loss in Brisbane last week. 

This will be their third meeting and a first since 2023 with both players picking up a win each, although Fernandez did triumph in their only previous clash on hard. 

Andreeva is a much tougher nut to crack three years on and although Leylah could take this all the way, the Russian is likely to be more consistent when it matters.
