Leylah Fernandez made a name for herself with the 2021 US Open final appearance but has failed to achieve anything similar ever since.

Leylah Fernandez @ 9/10 (1.90)

Emma Navarro has had a busy schedule lately, given her magnificent run in San Diego. This will be her ninth match in 11 days, which is something that is extremely difficult, especially if we add the traveling time to that. Fernandez has been very confident in the previous matches, winning in straight sets, and will use the circumstances to advance to the next round.

First set under 9.5 games @ 7/10 (1.70)

Fernandez played under 9.5 games in the opening sets of her previous three matches, just like Navarro. It is expected that Fernandez will be quite dominant in this match, so the first set would be a quick one.
