Aliaksandra Sasnovich vs Leylah Fernandez – Match Predictions

With both players setting their sights on a second round spot, these are our predictions and tips for this match

Aliaksandra Sasnovich to Win at Least One Set

Although Aliaksandra Sasnovich and Leylah Annie Fernandez are both unseeded ahead of this tournament, they are both ranked inside the top 50 on the WTA rankings. While the Canadian player is the significant favourite to win this match, we aren’t entirely convinced by her recent results.

It’s important to point out that Leylah Fernandez has a 1-2 record on clay courts this year; she hasn’t been very consistent in recent months. Excluding Billie Jean King Cup matches, the former US Open finalist suffered three losses in her last four singles matches, and all of those losses came in straight sets. Even though Aliaksandra Sasnovich has had her fair share of struggles recently, we are fairly confident that the Belarusian will not go down in straight sets.

Over 21.5 Total Games

Our next prediction for Aliaksandra Sasnovich vs Leylah Fernandez is on the over/under games market. We’ve established that Leylah Fernandez has not been very consistent in recent months; it’s also worth mentioning that Aliaksandra Sasnovich hasn’t fared much better either. Bearing in mind that none of these players has particularly stood out recently, we don’t think that this will be a one-sided contest. Moreover, six of Sasnovich’s last seven singles matches went above the 21.5 games line; and on that note, we’re backing the over here.

Aliaksandra Sasnovich vs Leylah Fernandez Preview

Now that we’ve gotten our Aliaksandra Sasnovich vs Leylah Fernandez predictions out of the way, we would like to take a look at both players’ recent form ahead of this competition.

Aliaksandra Sasnovich

The past few weeks have not been very kind on Aliaksandra Sasnovich; she suffered three losses in her last four singles matches, and hasn’t been past the second round of any tournament in months. The Belarusian will hope to get back on track by defeating her Canadian opponent today.

Leylah Fernandez

Like Sasnovich, Leylah Fernandez has gone through a rough patch in recent weeks. She exited the first round of the Mutua Madrid Open in straight sets, and has lost three of her last four matches. Fernandez will set her sights on a place in the second round, and she’ll fancy her chances against Sasnovich.
