Leylah Fernandez hasn’t had the smoothest 2025 season. With a 21-17 record, she’s struggled for consistency and suffered early exits in several events, including smaller tournaments.

However, she recently turned things around by winning a title at the Citi Open, her biggest run of the year. It’s a much-needed boost for the Canadian, who had entered that event with a poor stretch of results. While momentum is now on her side, her overall form remains unpredictable.

Maya Joint, meanwhile, is enjoying a breakthrough season. The 19-year-old has compiled a solid 38-18 record so far and captured two WTA 250 titles, one on clay and another on grass.

Though she hasn’t gone deep in the bigger tournaments, she's been active throughout the year and continues to compete regularly. Her ability to win matches across surfaces and stay fit through a packed calendar shows her growing presence on the tour.

Fresh off a breakthrough, Leylah Fernandez enters the Canadian Open brimming with confidence. She clinched her biggest title yet at the Citi Open, capturing her first-ever WTA 500 crown in Washington.

Dominating the final 6‑1, 6‑2 over Anna Kalinskaya, she powered past top-seeded opponents like Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina. The triumph marked her fourth career trophy and infused momentum into her 2025 campaign.

Meanwhile, Maya Joint heads north after a rocky stretch. Most recently, she bowed out to Fernandez in Washington in straight sets. She is on a two-match losing streak that she’ll be eager to end. Prior to that, her form had been solid, but those setbacks have left her on a minor downturn.

Given Fernandez’s regained form and her ability to beat Joint decisively just days ago, she looks set to repeat those heroics.

Pick: Leylah Fernandez in straight sets.
