Trending
Fernandez was up against Wang Xiyu in the first round. The Canadian was off to a flying start, capturing the first set for the loss of only one game. Wang tried her best to put up a fight in the second set but her efforts proved to be futile in the end. While she overcame a break deficit on two occasions, Fernandez made sure she didn't do so for the third time to wrap up a 6-1, 6-4 win.
Lys commenced her campaign in Hong Kong against qualifier Kristiana Sidorova. The German was at her dominant best in the opening set, dishing out a bagel to claim it. She continued to outplay the teenager in the next set as well, and despite a couple of missteps, got over the finish line for a 6-0, 6-3 victory.
Leylah Fernandez vs Eva Lys head-to-head
This will be their first main draw meeting at the WTA level, so the head-to-head stands at 0-0. However, Lys won their only prior encounter in the qualifying rounds of the China Open 2023 in straight sets.

Leylah Fernandez vs Eva Lys prediction
Both players have gotten off to a strong start in Hong Kong. This has been a good year for them, and they will be keen to sign off on a positive note as well. Fernandez claimed her maiden WTA 500 title at the Citi DC Open and beat the likes of Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina to do so. She recently won her second title of the season at the Japan Women's Open.
Lys reached the fourth round of the Australian Open and made the quarterfinals of the China Open, her best results at a Major and a WTA 1000 tournament. She also scored her first win over a top 10 player by beating Rybakina at the China Open.
Fernandez will be favored to come out on top in this contest based on her history in Hong Kong. She won the title on her debut in 2023 and made the semifinals last year. She has a 9-1 record at the venue. While Lys has the game to challenge her, the Canadian's preference for the conditions here could help her extend her impressive record at the tournament.
Pick: Leylah Fernandez to win in three sets.
