Leylah Annie Fernandez clashes with Rebecca Sramkova on Wednesday, looking to stage another deeper run at the 2025 Monterrey Open.
After bombing out in the opening matches of both the Canadian and Cincinnati Open, Fernandez finally barged into the winning column with a straight-set victory over Jacqueline Cristian 6-3, 7-5. Fernandez made sure she would not play the role of a trailer as she stormed to a 4-1 lead and put on the finishing touches to secure the first set. Fernandez faced a heavier resistance from Cristian in the second set, but the top-rated Canadian broke at 6-5 and then held her serve to earn the win.
As for Sramkova, the Slovakian breezed through Victoria Rodriguez of Mexico 6-2, 6-3 to reach the second round. Powered by 28 first-serve points and 7 aces, Sramkova denied Rodriguez any chance to break serves. The Slovakian converted 4 of 9 breakpoint chances with only 15 return points to clinch the win and arrange her first career duel with Fernandez on the WTA Tour.
