THE PREDICTION

21-year-old Leylah Fernandez will move back up to world number 33 after an excellent run to the quarter-finals of the Qatar Masters this week. The Canadian set a career-high of 13th after finishing runner-up to Emma Raducanu at the US Open in 2021 and wins over Paula Badosa, Qinwen Zheng and Liudmila Samsonova were reminiscent of that level to promise much of the weeks ahead. World number 83 Bernarda Pera twice came back from a set down to qualify the hard way this weekend but a four-match losing streak stretching back to the Adelaide International does not bode well for the American. Fernandez beat Pera in straight sets at the Washington Open last August and she will be desperate to build on her Doha form here with a similarly consummate result. Take Fernandez to win in two.

TIP: LEYLAH FERNANDEZ TO WIN 2-0
