Leylah Fernandez vs Beatriz Haddad Maia 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.
Pick: Fernandez to win in three sets.
