Leylah Annie Fernandez of Canada lock horns with Ann Li of the United States in the second round of the 2025 Madrid Open.

Fernandez kicks off her clay-court campaign with a first-round duel with Ann Li. It has been a frustrating year for Canada’s No.1 women’s singles player, who has compiled a subpar 10-8 record in 2025. Nevertheless, the clay-court opens new opportunities for Fernandez to earn WTA ranking points and improve her position in the women’s tennis ladder.

After breakthrough final appearance at the Singapore Open, Li has lost four of her last six matches to also go 10-8 in the season. The No.62 ranked American defeated Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus 6-3 6-2 to reach the second round of the Madrid Open for the first time.
