THE PREDICTION
19-year-old Leylah Fernandez set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 17th this week despite so far struggling on clay. The Canadian famously finished runner-up to Emma Raducanu at the US Open last season having taken out an incredible list of Grand Slam champions and top 10 players in: Naomi Osaka, Angelique Kerber, Elina Svitolina and Aryna Sabalenka. Fernandez successfully defended her Monterrey Open title back in February on a her favoured hard surface but the dogged left-hander has huge potential in her game for the clay too.
World number 110 Kristina Mladenovic spend much of her time on the ITF circuit these days, especially in the singles, but the 29-year-old took Nuria Parrizas-Diaz to three sets in defeat at the Rabat Open on Wednesday. A first meeting with Leylah Fernandez is likely going one way, especially with the French crowd set to take to the Canadian, who is fluent in French, as one of their own. Back Fernandez to win this in two and watch out for the 19-year-old in Paris.
