The 2021 Abierto GNP Seguros (WTA Monterrey Open) starts main draw play on Monday with a Canadian vs American matchup between Leylah Fernandez and Coco Vandeweghe among the highlights. We also have predictions for matches featuring Katie Boulter and Ann Li.
Leylah Fernandez vs Coco Vandeweghe
Coco Vandeweghe, a former top 10 player, returns to the WTA tour after hand surgery, in her first match back she will take on Leylah Fernandez who has won her first round match in all but one tournament this season. Given it’s hard to project what level Vandeweghe is playing at right now Fernandez is the safer pick to advance. Fernandez in 2
Nao Hibino vs Jasmine Paolini
Hibino 1-3 on the season is an underdog against Paolini who has started the year 4-4, this should be a competitive match, but Hibino’s struggles look set to continue. Paolini in 3
Nina Stojanovic vs Martina Trevisan
Trevisan qualified in Dubai but has struggled otherwise this season, Stojanovic is a better hard court player with an even 3-3 record this season. Stojanovic should win this routinely. Stojanovic in 2
Lauren Davis vs Mayar Sherif
Sherif, who qualified for the Australian Open, continues in her quest to crack the top 100. Davis, a former top 30 player, is trying to recapture that level of performance and comes off the quarterfinals in Guadalajara as a qualifier. Presuming Davis is still fit she looks set to make another run at this tournament. Davis in 2
