Leylah Annie Fernandez vs Heather Watson Prediction & Picks - WTA Hong Kong Open
by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks
Leylah Fernandez of Canada will resume her campaign on the WTA Tour on Monday against Heather Watson of Great Britain in the first round of the 2024 Hong Kong Open. Fernandez aims to build more momentum off the back of a quarterfinal stint at the Toray Pan Pacific Open. The former US Open finalist pushed eventual champion Qinwen Zheng to the limit 6-0 1-6 6-3 in their highly competitive quarterfinal clash on Friday. Fernandez is ranked No.35 on the WTA world ranking, but she can improve her current position if she can reach the championship rounds of this WTA 250 tournament. Watson, meanwhile, is fresh off a runner-up finish at W100 Shrewsbury. The 32-year-old WTA veteran had posted four victories, three of which were straight sets, before bowing to compatriot Sonay Kartal 7-5 4-1 ret. in the final.

Our Leylah Annie Fernandez vs Heather Watson Prediction
Fernandez, who sports a 61 percent career win rate on hard courts, is viewed among the favorites to win the Hong Kong Open. However, she’s facing a tricky first-round opponent in Heather Watson, a player she hasn’t defeated in all their previous three matches. And while I still like Fernandez’s chance of advancing to the next round, Watson’s familiarity in playing Fernandez will come to play on Monday, making this match far from being a walk in the park for the Canadian tennis star. Our betting prediction for Leylah Fernandez vs. Heather Watson: Back Watson to cover +5.5 games, -135, at Caesars Sportsbook.
