Leylah Fernandez faces Jessica Bouzas Maneiro this afternoon in a Cincinnati Open second-round match between two players entering the tournament with strong momentum.
Fernandez begins her Cincinnati Open campaign fresh off a strong summer, winning the WTA 500 title at the DC Open by defeating strong opponents, including Elena Rybakina in an epic three-set semifinal.
Her hard-court form is solid, with consistency and competitive edge at the WTA 1000 level.
Bouzas Maneiro, ranked No. 50 entering the tournament, defeated fan-favorite and tennis legend Venus Williams 6‑4, 6‑4 in the first round and posted solid results during the North American swing, including a quarterfinal at the Canadian Open, where she fell to the eventual winner Victoria Mboko.
Fernandez–Bouzas Maneiro Head-to-Head
This is their first career meeting between Fernandez and Bouzas Maneiro.
Prediction
Fernandez in 3 tight sets. Bouzas Maneiro’s upset over Venus shows she’s capable of rising to the occasion, but Fernandez’s current form and mental strength make her the slight favorite.
