Leylah Fernandez vs Ekaterina Alexandrova: Match Preview
Leylah Fernandez had an exceptional breakthrough campaign in 2021. The Canadian reached the final of the US Open, where she lost to Emma Raducanu in an all-teenage final. As a result, she broke onto the top 25 of the world. After the magnificent debut campaign, the 19 year old would look to carry forward the momentum in the 2022 season.
Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova’s highlight of the year would be her sensational performance in the Kremlin Cup. The 27 year old defeated top 10 players Ons Jabeur, Aryna Sabalenka and Maria Sakkari to reach the final, where she was defeated by Anett Kontaveit. She also made her Olympics debut representing the Russian team. She was also a part of the Russian team which won the inaugural Billie Jean King Cup Finals held in Prague.

Leylah Fernandez vs Ekaterina Alexandrova: Match Prediction
After her brilliant debut campaign, Leylah Fernandez would want to carry her form into the new season and keep improving to challenge for the top honors. The youngster would want to make a strong start to the new season.
On the other hand, Alexandrova would also like to carry forward her momentum into the new season after quite a promising 2021. Despite the Russian’s win at the Billie Jean Cup Finals to end the year, I’d go for Leylah Fernandez to take this one.
Prediction: Leylah Fernandez to win in straight sets.
