Leylah Annie Fernandez, 1-7 against the WTA top-100 in 2026, faces Russian rising star Oksana Selekhmeteva, who has won 7 of her 8 career top-100 wins this year.
Current Form:
4-1 in her last five matches, Leylah Annie Fernandez seeks to rediscover a winning form against a tough opponent in Oksana Selekhmeteva in the second round of the 2026 Miami Open.
Fernandez opened at -200 moneyline despite her erratic results lately, while Selekhmeteva is priced reasonably at +164 underdog, mainly because she too hasn’t made any deep run in the last tournaments she competed in.
The 25th-ranked Fernandez has two wins out of seven matches this season, leaving her vulnerable to lower-ranked foes on the tour. Selekhmeteva has 8 career WTA top-100 wins over her career, 7 of which came this year.

Our Leylah Fernandez vs Oksana Selekhmeteva Prediction
It’s going to be a brutal match, but Leylah Fernandez still has the edge here because of her big-match experience. However, Selekhmeteva appears to be an enticing pick at +3.5 games (-120) because of her winning record against the WTA top-100 this year.
Fernandez owns an ugly 1-7 record against the WTA top-100 in 2026. The only top-100 win Fernandez earned this year was against Liudmila Samsonova in a three-setter, 5-7, 7-5, 6-3. Again, Selekhmeteva has already tallied seven WTA top-100 wins this season, and could add another one if Fernandez comes out flat again in this match. If you are a risk-taker, you could ride all the way with Selekmeteva because a win promises a hefty windfall at +164. But for me, I am playing it safe.
