THE PREDICTION

World number 35 Leylah Fernandez brings a concerning three-match losing streak into the Miami Open but she reached the quarter-finals at the Qatar Masters last month to prove her best level is still simmering just below the surface. The 21-year-old has all the traits required to thrive here in challenging conditions but she has struggled to find any sort of consistency on tour for several seasons now, although she managed to peak at just the right time late last year to win Canada their first ever Billie Jean King Cup. World number 123 Emiliana Arango will be well-backed by a strong South American contingent here in Miami but this will be a much tougher test than her opening win over Tatjana Maria. The 23-year-old reached the quarter-finals of the Guadalajara Masters late last season to prove her potential but back Fernandez, who has not played badly in her recent defeats, to edge through the winner.

TIP: LEYLAH FERNANDEZ TO WIN
