Ann Li vs Leylah Fernandez prediction

Leylah Fernandez’s poor start to the season could continue in Qatar.

The Canadian won two titles in Osaka and Washington towards the end of last year but has managed just one win in 2026, suffering some real shocks along the way.

Next up, it’s a second ever meeting with Ann Li, who beat Leylah in fast conditions in Madrid last year.

The American world number 41 hasn’t quite been firing on all cylinders either but can claim to have posted better results than a player sitting 16 places better off on the WTA ladder at present.

Fernandez’s travails won’t continue forever, but Li has a game-plan that can work in this match-up and it’s worth looking at it going three or taking a punt on the mini upset.
