Xinyu Wang, an intriguing underdog at +105, will try to overpower Leylah Annie Fernandez on grass in the second round of the 2026 Bad Homburg Open.
Current Form:
Leylah Annie Fernandez captured her first grass-court win of the year after rallying past Katie Boulter 6-7, 6-3, 6-3 in the first round of the 2026 Bad Homburg Open. The win snapped Fernandez’s four-match losing streak, which began in the quarterfinal loss to Victoria Mboko 4-6, 4-6 at Strasbourg.
Xinyu Wang made quick work of Renata Zarazua 6-1, 6-2. Wang was originally scheduled to face Iva Jovic. However, the American teen pulled out of the tournament in the last minute, prompting the organizer to give her slot to the lucky loser Zarazua. Wang holds a 24-14 record on grass.
Fernandez walks into the second round as a slight favorite, mainly because she ranks higher than Wang in the world rankings. However, Wang carries a better record on grass and has had strong results on the surface in previous years.

Our Xinyu Wang vs Leylah Fernandez Prediction
Xinyu Wang outplays Laylah Annie Fernandez 6-3, 5-7, 7-5
Wang looks like a strong bet to pull off an upset since she is a much better grass-court player than Fernandez.
Wang owns a solid 24-14 record on grass courts in her career. Last year, the Chinese posted a 7-3 record on the surface and finished runner-up to Marketa Vondrousova 6–7(10–12), 6–4, 2–6 at the 2025 Berlin Open.
Fernandez, who is 15-13 on grass, will also have to figure out how to counterattack Wang’s formidable service game, which produced 15 aces and won 88 percent of her first serves in her dominant win against Zarazua.
Fernandez is a crafty player, but she usually struggles against opponents with big serves and powerful groundstrokes. Wang has all of these weapons, making her a dangerous opponent on grass despite her struggles this year.
