THE PREDICTION

This could be a huge week for world number 74 Leylah Fernandez, whose two WTA titles so far came on a Mexican hardcourt at the Monterrey Open in 2021 and 2022. The 21-year-old also reached the Acapulco Open final in 2021, the same year she burst onto the world stage with her miraculous run to the US Open final, to suggest a lot of outside factors could benefit her amidst a weakened field. World number 351 Asia Muhammad qualified the hard way this weekend with two three-set results squeaking her into the draw but the 32-year-old spends the majority of her time as a successful doubles player these days – currently ranked 49th in the world to Fernandez’s 21st in that side of the WTA tour. Fernandez has lost each of her last two matches in three sets to top 30 players to suggest a kind draw is all she needs to get up and running. Take the Canadian to win outright, although two should do it.
