Alisha Parks – Leylah Fernandez prediction and betting tips – September 23, 2026
In the second round in Singapore on September 23, Alisha Parks and Leylah Fernandez will face each other. Here is my betting pick for their upcoming match.
Alisha Parks
The American can be considered a decent mid-level player, but nothing more. She is ranked 70th, eight places higher than at the start of the year. The tennis player has won 27 matches and suffered 28 defeats this season. Parks occasionally produces solid tennis, putting up serious resistance against top-level opponents.
In the first round of the tournament in Singapore, Parks defeated Japan's Yamaguchi 6-4, 6-3. The player has not achieved any significant success this season.
Leylah Fernandez
Many fans know the Canadian as the finalist of the sensational 2021 US Open, when she lost to Emma Raducanu in the title match. To this day, that remains Fernandez's biggest achievement. The tennis player holds a solid 31st place in the world rankings, although she has dropped nine spots since the start of the year.
The player had a difficult start to the season, losing five of her first six matches. She still has a negative win-loss record, winning 18 matches and losing 23. Fernandez is the sixth seed in Singapore and comfortably defeated Japan's Okamura 6-2, 6-3 in the first round.
Head-to-head record
Somewhat unexpectedly, the American leads their head-to-head series 2-1. Their most recent meeting took place this year in the first round of the French Open, where Parks celebrated a 6-4, 6-4 victory.
Prediction
Fernandez is the favorite on paper, and I agree with that assessment, even though the Canadian trails in their head-to-head meetings. Ultimately, the American is inferior to her upcoming opponent in terms of class, but she can put up a serious fight. Since I expect this match to go the distance, my pick is over 20.5 total games.
