Zeynep Sonmez vs Leylah Fernandez prediction

Leylah Fernandez will look to bounce back from an early loss at Queen’s when she meets Zeynep Sonmez for the second time.

The Canadian, who is a former Eastbourne finalist on grass, won 6-7 6-1 7-6 in a tight tussle in Stuttgart earlier this year and could be in for another battle with the Turkish underdog.

The world number 67 reached the last eight in S’Hertogenbosch last week and is statistically solid on the surface.

This could be another match of fluctuating momentum and a large number of games may well be on the cards.
