One of the top matches in the first round at WTA Bad Homburg will see Leylah Fernandez face off with Tatjana Maria. This will be the fourth meeting between the players, and the winner advances to face second seed Jasmine Paolini. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Just last week the two met in Maria’s title run in London. That straight-sets win marked a third straight head-to-head victory for the German.

Playing here as a wildcard, Maria carries a run of seven straight wins, and in the process she dropped just one set. This run of form is a complete flip from earlier. Before heading to WTA London, she had lost nine straight matches.

Fernandez wouldn’t have wanted to land this draw, especially in light of their latest meeting. There is nothing she can do now but lace up and turn up against the veteran.

In this fixture, she has not only gone winless in the three meetings but also failed to register a set. The Canadian had to retire in one of the encounters and will be hoping to do better this time.

After her loss to Maria in the first round in London, Fernandez was beaten by Dayana Yastremska in the quarter-finals at Nottingham. She has now suffered six defeats in her last 10 matches.
