Leylah Fernández vs Dayana Yastremska Prediction
Fernández ended last year on a confident note. He needs to start well in 2026 and give himself the opportunity to win more titles. The young woman is a former US Open runner-up, which highlights her quality on the circuit.
Yastremska, on the other hand, is owed a title in the last six years. She has lost four finals since 2019, but remains among the most consistent players on the circuit. The Ukrainian will be eager to gain momentum in the coming weeks and do well in Melbourne.
Fernández is known for her dynamic, complete game and her power from the right wing. He likes to get on the court and take time away from his opponents.
Taking into account his history on hard courts and the results of the last few months, Fernández should be able to settle this round. The Canadian will face a strong contender, but she will most likely take advantage of her freshness and advance to the third round.
