Leylah Fernandez vs Belinda Bencic – Match Predictions
Contents
This is the fourth duel between Leylah Fernandez and Belinda Bencic, with two matches finishing in favour of each.
Belinda Bencic To Win
After suffering successive defeats at the hands of Leylah Fernandez, Belinda Bencic has set the record straight. The 9th-ranked star has won her last two dues against the Canadian and should have enough in the tank to get past her in her first Miami Open outing. Fernandez will not make it easy for the Swiss star and it will be a tough assignment that would conclude in three sets. Given their recent form and past record against each other, we are backing Bencic to progress.
2-1 to Belinda Bencic
Two of the last three meetings between Fernandez and Bencic have finished with three sets. Fernandez’s ousting from Indian Wells came in three sets as well. WTA 4th-ranked Caroline Garcia had to dig deep to get over Fernandez’s challenge. Bencic will have similar troubles against the Canadian but should have enough quality to secure passage to the next round.
