THE PREDICTION
World number 39 Leylah Fernandez could be a genuine title-contender this week at the inaugural Guadalajara Masters, with three of her four WTA tour finals coming in Mexico including the last two editions of the Monterrey Open. The Canadian has lost four of her last six matches since a return from a serious foot injury but it should not take much to get her going at this level and she has the confidence of a 2-0 lead in this particular head-to-head record after beating Belinda Bencic at Roland-Garros this summer. World number 15 Bencic was forced to withdraw from her previous tournament at the Ostrava Open after a three-set wobble against Eugenie Bouchard but she has been in impressive form across the North American hardcourt swing and she remains the slight favourite on recent results. Leave this match out of an accumulator but consider a one-off punt on Fernandez to produce something special here in conditions she knows and loves.
