Leylah Fernandez and Jelena Ostapenko, both unseeded, meet in the third round of the 2026 Wuhan Open. The two meet for the first time in five years, and Fernandez is the pick in our prediction, based on their recent strong form.
Fernandez defeated qualifier Shi Han in straight sets to progress to this round. She is having a strong Asian swing. The Canadian has won seven of her last eight matches and was crowned champion in Singapore.
Currently ranked 27th in the live ranking, Fernandez has improved to a 24-24 record after claiming her 10th win on hard courts.
Jelena Ostapenko defeated Fernandez in their only other encounter. Though that was five years ago and not on a hardcourt, she will hope for a similar outing to continue a strong week.
A one-time Grand Slam champion, Ostapenko saw off the challenge of second seed Jessica Pegula in the last round. She won in three sets after battling her way from 1-0 down.
A semi-finalist in Wuhan almost 10 years ago, Ostapenko is seeking her first title of the year. The 29-year-old will need to be at her very best to reign supreme in Wuhan, with recent form suggesting a third-round exit.
Currently ranked 32nd in the live ranking, Ostapenko hasn’t won three matches in a row since a semi-final finish in Eastbourne.
