Leylah Fernandez vs Anna Blinkova – Match Predictions
Contents
Leylah Fernandezto Win
Blinkova is the ninth seed at Bod Homburg but bookmakers do not favour her in this battle. It is with good reason as the Russian ace has struggled on grass and has lost five of her last eight matches on the surface. On the other hand, while Fernandez has shied away from the green surface but her recent victories have been dominant. She only dropped one game against Papadakis and is favoured to make the most of Blinkova’s struggles in this meeting.
2-1 to Leylah Fernandez
Four of Blinkova’s last five matches have been three-set affairs. Two of these meetings have gone in her favour while two against her. She is coming up against a ruthless Fernandez in this duel and is the underdog against the 96-ranked rival. The Canadian ace is prone to losing focus and Blinkova will force the issue when presented with the opportunity. It will be a long drawn battle but one in which Fernandez should manage to get over the line despite spending extended time on the court.

She began the grass-court swing with a straight sets victory over Lena Papadakis, only dropping one game to secure passage to the second round.
Anna Blinkova
The ninth-seed at Bad Homburg Open finally got wins under her belt after suffering three successive defeats on the grass court last season. In Berlin, she ended her drought with a 2-1 win over Laura Siegmund. The victory showed she was struggling to make the transition, which was evident in her 2-1 defeat to Elina Avanesyan. Against Sabine Lisicki, her flaws were on show again as she fought to claim a three-set victory over the former world number 12.
