Leylah Fernandez vs Suzan Lamens preview
Fifth-seeded Leylah Fernandez will face the Netherlands' Suzan Lamens in the first round of the 2025 Nottingham Open on Monday (June 16).
Trending
Fernandez has endured a tough season on the WTA Tour this year, losing 14 of her 26 matches thus far. More concerningly, the 22-year-old is on a four-match losing streak dating back to the Italian Open last month. Winning back-to-back matches has been a problem for the World No. 30 in 2025, as evidenced by her three-match losing streak between the Qatar Open and the BNP Paribas Open earlier this year.
That said, the Canadian will be hopeful of a good run at the Nottingham Open following a first-round exit at this week's Berlin Ladies Open. Her opponent Lamens, meanwhile, went through a rough patch on the women's pro circuit recently as she dropped four of her five tour-level outings in April-May. The World No. 72 enjoyed a return to form at her home tournament Libema Open this week though, reaching the quarterfinals of the WTA 250 tournament.
Leylah Fernandez vs Suzan Lamens head-to-head
Fernandez and Lamens have never faced each other on the WTA Tour so their head-to-head record stands at 0-0.

Leylah Fernandez vs Suzan Lamens prediction
Fernandez has been one of the best baseliners on the WTA Tour since she came up in 2020, thanks to her impressive shot tolerance and endurance. While these qualities helped her reach the 2021 US Open final against all odds, her game has been in stasis over the last few years. Regardless of the current phase of her career, her lefty forehand and reliable serve will hold her in good stead in Nottingham.
Lamens is a much craftier player than Fernandez and likes mixing up her groundstrokes with slices. The 25-year-old also regularly employs net approaches and drop shots during matches, which allows her to disrupt her opponents' rhythm. She is likely to be at home with the faster playing conditions at the 2025 Nottingham Open, giving her considerable chances of scripting an upset victory against her fifth-seeded opponent on Monday.
Pick: Lamens to win in three sets.
