Last year’s US Open saw Leylah Fernandez‘s breakthrough in a big way, but the Canadian has struggled since then. Yes, she’s got wins this year, and yes, she’s won a championship, but an 8-4 record isn’t exactly impressive.

She has the ability to be one of the best players in the world, but she needs to start putting together more consistent runs. So far, it’s been poor at best, with the occasional burst of brilliance. It’s not good enough for her, and this year she hopes to enhance her clay game. It’s good, but she needs more surface matches, and events like this with faster clay could be beneficial to her. She’s the clear favorite in this race and should win it.

This year, Magda Linette isn’t playing her best tennis. On paper, a 5-7 record may not appear to be bad, but the eye test tells a different picture. It’s been on the rise recently, with some excellent performances in Miami and a strong win in round one of this tournament.

However, it’s improbable that she’ll be able to maintain such a high level in the future. The idea of facing Fernandez in the second round is not appealing, and she will have a difficult time dealing with the tenacious Canadian. Linette is most effective when she attacks rather than when she defends. It’s unlikely that she’ll have many opportunities to do so against Fernandez, so this could be difficult for her.

They had previously played on clay, which was interesting. This clay is a little slower than this, but it’s still clay. Fernandez got out to a shaky start, going 1-6, but recovered to finish well. It demonstrates the Canadian’s adaptability, and she will be better prepared this time around.

She’s a much better player now, and she should be able to win most rallies once more. Linette struggles when she has to defend, which she will have to do a lot against Fernandez. Despite Linette’s recent progress, I believe the Canadian will win this easily. There is simply too much disparity in quality.

Prediction: Fernandez to win in straight sets
