Leylah Annie Fernandez vs. Caroline Garcia Analysis
Fernandez is a tenacious but diminutive player who has a never-say-die attitude. The world No. 95 in the tennis standings, who plays left-handed, is 16-14 this season. She was a career-best No. 13 in August 2022. Fernandez has mostly traded wins and losses this season, but her impressive play in doubles as of late could give her some added confidence as she tries to make a run at Wimbledon. Fernandez does have some pedigree at grand slams, and a win over Garcia could help her go on an extended run.
Garcia, meanwhile, is hoping to win the Fernandez vs. Garcia prediction and keep her Wimbledon dream alive. Fernandez has yet to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, but her draw is favorable this year. She’s 25-14 this season and the world No. 5.
Garcia is 2-0 in two career meetings against Fernandez, both of which were on hard court earlier this season. Garcia beat Fernandez 7-6 (7-5), 7-5 in the 2023 Australian Open.
