Ajla Tomljanovic vs Leylah Fernandez Preview

 

Ajla Tomljanovic started the year ranked No. 292 in the WTA rankings and spent a huge chunk of the first half of 2024 to undergo surgery to remove uterine fibroids. It was not until mid-May when the Australian made her return, having played her last match before then at the end of January in Hua Hin.

Tomljanovic has enjoyed a decent spell of good health since May, managing to play in 15 tournaments. Her best results include reaching the final of the WTA 250 in Birmingham (runner-up) and the WTA 125K in Hong Kong when she won the title.

Those results have been pivotal in getting her ranking into double digits yet again. Tomljanovic is up to 85th in the rankings and has secured a main draw berth at the WTA 500 in Tokyo.

Leylah Fernandez is ranked 34th in the world rankings, a few spots from her career-high of No. 13. She will make her debut at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo. She is a modest 26-22 for the year, earning 13 victories on hard courts.

The Canadian made one final this year in Eastbourne where she finished runner-up to Daria Kasatkina and also made three more quarterfinal appearances. Two weeks ago, Fernandez snapped her four-match losing streak in Wuhan. Before that, she had lost in the first round in her last three tournaments.

 

 

Ajla Tomljanovic vs Leylah Fernandez Head-To-Head

 

• Ajla Tomljanovic leads Leylah Fernandez 1-0 in their head-to-head.

• The Aussie defeated Fernadez in three sets during her run to the Birmgiham final this year.

 

Ajla Tomljanovic vs Leylah Fernandez Prediction

 

Tomljanovic is a savvy competitor and brings a lot of power to the table, which helps tremendously on a fast, hard court. Fernandez, by contrast, brings flair, finesse, and a touch of variety to her game. This is more of a 50-50 matchup. Before Wuhan, I would have considered Tomljanovic on the ML here, but Fernandez has arrested that terrible spell of bad results. Still, taking Tomljanovic to win a set at evens is a value bet.

Nur’s Pick Ajla Tomljanovic set handicap +1.5
