Tennis / WTA
A look at the WTA Osaka Day 2 match between Leylah Fernandez and Hailey Baptiste. Fernandez is favored, but Baptiste has had a strong season.
Leylah Fernandez enters this match as the favorite, but Hailey Baptiste has the potential to cause an upset. Fernandez has shown strong performances recently, including a competitive match against Aryna Sabalenka at the US Open and close matches against Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka. However, Baptiste is having a career-best season and pushed Jessica Pegula to a tight tiebreak in Wuhan.
Fernandez's hard court record is solid, with 18 wins in 14 tournaments. Her service game is strong, and she converts break points at a decent rate. Baptiste's hard court record is less impressive, but her service game is still a weapon. She will need to capitalize on any opportunities to break Fernandez's serve if she wants to win.
Historically, flat shots and lack of pace have challenged Mertens, leaving her unsure of when to attack. Similarly, Baptiste will need to come up with strategies to challenge Fernandez.
Fernandez is favored at -285, while Baptiste is at +210.
18-13.
10-13.
