Leylah Annie Fernandez of Canada braces for a rough opening match against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain in the second round of the 2025 Cincinnati Open.
Fernandez has had two contrasting tournaments in the past three weeks. The former US Open runner-up kicked off her North American hard-court campaign into high gear by winning the Mubadala Washington Open for her first WTA 500 title. However, just days after her triumphant campaign in the Nation’s Capital, Fernandez succumbed to Maya Joint 4-6, 1-6 in the first round of the 2025 Canadian Open, derailing her momentum ahead of the 2025 US Open.
Bouzas Maneiro followed up her quarterfinal run at the Canadian Open with a convincing 6-4, 6-4 win over tennis legend Venus Williams in the first round of the 2025 Cincinnati Open. Bouzas Maneiro, who picked up four wins in Montreal, showed who was the player with a better form as she captured 65 percent of her first serves and broke Williams six times en route to a straight-set win.

Our Leylah Annie Fernandez vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro Prediction
Leylah Fernadez opened at -215 on Draftkings, but don’t sleep on Jessica Bouzas Maneiro because she can certainly pull off a stunner, if given the chance.
Fernandez, 15-9 on the hard court in 2025, only has four wins in 11 matches against players ranked between top-21 to top-50 on the WTA world ranking. The No. 42-ranked Bouzas Maneiro has won 5 of her last 6 matches on the hard court and is fresh off a quarterfinal run at the Canadian Open.
While Fernandez is still a firm pick to win outright, an in-form Bouzas Maneiro is expected to present a tough challenge to the Canadian, making her an attractive bet to beat the spread with a generous +4.5 game head start.
Our betting prediction for Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs. Leylah Annie Fernandez: Jessica Bouzas Maneiro +4.5 Games.
