Seventh seed Heather Watson will be up against Leylah Annie Fernandez in the final of the Mexican Open 2020 after she defeated Wang Xiyu 6-4, 7-6(8-6) in the semi-final on Friday. Watson is a previous finalist and a winner at Acapulco and will be aiming to win her second title on Saturday when she faces the teenager.
Meanwhile, Fernandez went past Renata Zarazúa 6-3, 6-3 in the second semi-final of the day. She entered the tournament as a qualifier and has enjoyed a wonderful campaign. The 17-year old, who is yet to drop a set, is the first Canadian to reach the finals of the Mexican Open and the youngest women's player to do so.
In their previous two meetings, Watson defeated Fernandez in straight sets, with the previous win coming at the semi-final of the Vancouver Open 2019. However, given the run the Canadian is having, it will be interesting to see how much of a competition she can give the British player.
