World No. 5 Mirra Andreeva is scheduled to meet the 30th seed at the Canadian Open, Leylah Fernandez, in a third-round showdown. Their fourth meeting will be their second on a hard court, and our prediction backs Andreeva, who holds the head-to-head advantage.

Andreeva marked her return to action in Toronto after a month-long break with a 2-0 win against Karolina Pliskova. The teenage star hadn’t taken to the court since her second-round exit at Wimbledon.

That setback had followed an excellent clay season that culminated in her winning a maiden Grand Slam title at Roland Garros. She has now compiled a 38-11 record and has work to do here, having lost in her only meeting with Fernandez on a hard court.

Fernandez trails 2-1 in this fixture and will feel she can level this, having won the only hardcourt encounter between them. She warmed up for it with a 2-1 win over Renata Zarazua in the second round after getting a first-round bye.

Playing on home soil, Fernandez recovered powerfully after losing the middle set 6-0 in the second round. Her most recent defeat to Andreeva was in April in Madrid, and her suffering could extend here, having only managed 36% wins on hard courts this season.

The 23-year-old is on a losing run, having compiled a 14-20 record so far. In the live rankings, she’s placed 32nd.
