Renata Zarazua vs Leylah Fernandez prediction
Renata Zarazua continued her run of form as she defeated Tomara Korpatsch in the first-round of the Canadian Open. This was Korpatsch’s first event since winning the Hamburg Open last month, and she responded to losing the first set by winning the second without dropping a game. However, Zarazua dominated the decider to win 6-4 0-6 6-1. The Mexican reached the semi-finals in Memphis last week and now has four wins from her last five matches.
Her next opponent is Leylah Fernandez. The Canadian arrived at the Washington Open as the defending champion, but she could only reach the second-round this time around, losing in straight sets to Alexandra Eala. Aside from a couple of quarter-finals during the clay court season, it’s been a largely disappointing campaign for the 2021 US Open finalist, and she’s lost 20 of her 33 matches in 2026.
Fernandez leads the overall head-to-head 2-0, but they have not faced each other for six years. Zarazua is performing strongly at the moment and could make this competitive.
