Elena Rybakina is set to defend her Ningbo Open title against the resurgent Leylah Fernandez in the final on Sunday. This marks the sixth time the two will be facing off and the second this year. Rybakina has the head-to-head advantage coming here and has the backing in our prediction.
Heading into the final, Rybakina is yet to taste defeat in her Ningbo history. She won it on her debut and looks to cap off her second appearance with a second title. Not many will rule her out after the year she’s had.
The Kazakh is coming here with three titles in tow, two of them being Grand Slams. Her run here has been eventful but not unexpected; in the semis she overcame Diana Shnaider in straight sets.
Fernandez will be much aware that she comes here as the underdog by all measures, and she is eyeing an upset. If that comes to fruition, she will not only level this tie at 3-3 but also secure her second title of the season, having won the Singapore Open earlier.
A six-time tour champion, Fernandez won in straight sets for the first time in the semis as she saw off Marie Bouzkova.
The Canadian is on her Ningbo debut and looks to surprise her more accomplished opponent, who has 10 wins in 14 finals. Fernandez, however, has never defeated a reigning world No. 1.
