Fernandez won the only match against Bencic which was a 2020 Billie Jean match. The meeting was decided in straight sets and 21 games.

Fernandez is a worthy opponent who will have some confidence after beating Bencic a couple of years ago, and she’s even better now at 19 years old. However, Bencic is coming off an impressive performance against another Canadian, and she’s been on a roll overall these last couple of months. Bencic also appears to be slightly more comfortable on clay.

We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me Bencic.
