Our Han Shi vs Leylah Fernandez Prediction
Key Stats: Han Shi has already converted 12 break points across 3 matches in Wuhan.
What to Expect: Han Shi takes at least a set against Fernandez. The Chinese player’s ability to absorb and redirect heavy balls will make Fernandez work for her points. Moreover, playing at home gives Chinese players like Han the confidence to take on elite-level players head-on.
Han Shi certainly has upset potential at +320. However, unlike Eala, who has been shaky in past matches, Fernandez is coming into the tournament with a 6-1 record in her last 7 court appearances and a title in Singapore. Han will still make a solid impression, but she may need another perfect game to produce another stunner.
Fearless Forecast: Leylah Fernandez wins 4-6, 6-2, 6-3
