LEYLAH FERNANDEZ VS XIYU WANG PREDICTION
World number 34 Leylah Fernandez conceded just two games to Jessika Ponchet on Monday, building on some encouraging signs of clay form at the Strasbourg Open. The 21-year-old famously finished runner-up to Emma Raducanu at the US Open in 2021 but she endured the much tougher draw of the two, proving herself a serious pressure player with three wins over world numbers ones, past and future, before running out of steam.
World number 61 Xiyu Wang may be feeling a little fatigued herself after a near three=hour three-set clash with fellow Chinese Zhouxuan Bai on Sunday. The 23-year-old is capable of better tennis than her current deflated ranking suggests but Fernandez is the more comfortable clay-courter of the two and the Canadian will enjoy home-from-home support in Paris as a popular favourite in tour. Back Fernandez to win outright inside an accumulator or risk straight sets on its own.
