Leylah Fernandez of Canada will open her 2024 Canadian Open campaign against Zhang Shua of China on Tuesday. Fernandez came up short of clinching an Olympic medal for Canada after failing to reach the medal round of women’s singles and doubles event. Still, the Canadian can still make her country proud if she will do well throughout this WTA 1000 event. Meanwhile, Zhang hasn’t won a tennis match in over a year. Her last victory happened on Feb 2, 2023 when she defeated Madison Brengle of the United States 6-3 6-2. Since then, the Chinese has suffered first round exits in 21 straight tournaments she participated in. Zhang will need to come up with the best performance of her tennis career as she’s up against the former US Open finalist and top-25 ATP player in Fernandez.

Our Shuai Zhang vs Leylah Fernandez Prediction
To no one’s surprise, Fernandez is listed as an overwhelming favorite at -2000. The Canadian has already played Zhang once before Tuesday’s rematch, and it took her 16 games to dispatch the Chinese 6-3 6-1 at the 2021 Volvo Open in Charleston. I expect the same level of dominance from Fernandez since she will come into the match with Zhang in tip-top form after playing a few games in Paris.
