Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Leylah Fernandez: Preview
In Toronto’s opening round, home favorite Fernandez defeated Storm Sanders 6-4, 6-7 (2), 6-3. The teen hasn’t had the most straightforward years. Since her appearance in the 2021 US Open Grand Slam final, she has struggled to find herself. To defend her Monterrey Open, she did win another championship by defeating Camila Osorio 6-7 (5), 6-4, 7-6 (3). The Canadian also had noteworthy success in the French Open this year by making it all the way to the quarterfinals until Martina Trevisan defeated her 6-2, 6-7 (3), 6-3.
On the other hand, Haddad Maia has had success this year on the grass. She defeated Alison Riske 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 in the Nottingham Open final to claim her first WTA singles victory. When Shuai Zhang, her opponent in the final match, retired mid-match, she went on to win her second consecutive championship at the Birmingham Classic. The Brazilian then advanced to the Eastbourne International semifinals, where Petra Kvitova defeated her 7-6 (5), 6-4. Her performance on other surfaces hasn’t been all that great aside from that. Martina Trevisan was defeated by Haddad Maia in their first-round match at the National Bank Open in Toronto by scores of 6-2, 2-6, and 6-2.
The Canadian leads the head-to-head against the Brazilian 1-0, having met at the Monterrey Open in 2022, where the former was crowned the champion.
Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Leylah Fernandez: Prediction
Home favorite Fernandez will certainly have the crowd’s full support during this clash. The Canadian has a better record on the surface than Haddad Maia. She dwells on her forehand to win points. The counterpuncher is known to take balls early to gain control of the game and throw her opponents off-balance. She goes for half volleys but lacks accuracy. Haddad Maia likes to actively use her forehand as well. She doesn’t shy away from coming to the net. An experienced doubles player, the Brazilian will look to take advantage of the Canadian’s lack of match practice leading up to the Toronto event. In an exciting encounter between the two left-handers, Fernandez should come out on top and advance to the next round.
Prediction: Fernandez to win in straight sets.
