Coco Gauff’s charge for a second Beijing Open crown is on course, and the second seed will be up against Canadian Leylah Fernandez in the third round. The two are meeting for the third time in their careers, with the winner set to face Priscilla Hon or Belinda Bencic next. Here’s our prediction for the match.
Gauff, seeking her third title this season, started off with a dominant straight-set win over Kamilla Rakhimova in the second round. That win pushed her Beijing record to 11-1 as she makes her third appearance here.
In the earlier two she reached at least the semis, but her target here is to match her 2024 title run. In beating Rakhimova, the 2025 French Open winner claimed her 39th win of the season and comes here sitting third in the live rankings.
Fernandez is seeking her second title of 2025 after winning in Washington. The 25th seed is coming off a straight-set win over Maria Sakkari.
She destroyed the Greek star 6-2, 6-0, having benefited from a first-round bye. Off the back of her 25th win of the season, which pushed her to 25th on the live rank, Fernandez will be out to check Gauff’s dominance in this fixture.
In the two previous meetings, Fernandez suffered defeat, and her shaky Beijing record doesn’t help. The 23-year-old is making her third appearance here, yet she is only advancing to the third round for the first time.

Our Leylah Fernandez vs Coco Gauff Prediction
These two lost a combined six games in their opening matches at the Beijing Open, setting up a mouthwatering third-round match. Leylah Fernandez lost just two as she overcame Maria Sakkari in dominant fashion. The next frontier for the Canadian is to halt Gauff’s dominance in this fixture.
That will be tough, considering she’s never won a set in her meetings with Gauff. Also, Gauff is in inspired form at the moment and comes here as a clear favorite. Our prediction for Cori Gauff v Leylah Fernandez is for Gauff to win in straight sets.
