After the highs of last year, things have not fallen in place for Leylah Fernandez. The US Open 2021 runner-up has managed to bag just one title this season, and has more often than not played well below her standards. The Canadian last played at the US Open 2022, where she was knocked out only in the second round.

As for Daria Kasatkina, she has certainly had a successful year on tour. The Russian has managed to win two WTA titles, and also reached the semifinals of the French Open. She has been a consistent performer on the circuit this season, making a bunch of semifinal appearances.

However, Daria Kasatkina has not been at her best since the US Open, where she faced an early first round exit. She will look to make amends in the last part of the season.

Both players are in with a decent shout for this fixture. However, going by the recent trends, Daria Kasatkina does hold a slender edge. The Russian has had her fair share of struggles on hard courts this season, but has managed to yield good results despite her apparent weaknesses.

There is no doubting Leylah Fernandez’s ability, however, she is player who seems to lack confidence at the moment. She has a strong forehand, which she will look to use it to her advantage during the first round fixture. Moreover, Daria Kasatkina’s serve is not among the best in the business, something which she will look to exploit as well.

Match Prediction: Fernandez to win in three sets
