Tip of the Day: Leylah Fernandez and a Women’s Champions League double

Former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez is in action at the Singapore Open on Wednesday and is a considerable favourite against Alycia Parks, who is ranked 39 places below Fernandez at 70th in the world.

Parks, though, has a positive record against her fellow American, who she beat at this year’s French Open to ensure she has won two of their three meetings.

Both players won their openers in straight sets against qualifiers, with Parks perhaps having the easier draw by facing lucky loser Yamaguchi Mei.

Fernandez is the sixth seed and odds-on to beat her unseeded opponent, but their past encounters suggest the opening set should enter a ninth game.

In the Women’s Champions League, reigning Italian champions Roma are hot favourites to beat Leuven but may find the going trickier than the odds suggest against opponents with whom they shared a 1-1 draw in Belgium at this stage last season.

Leuven have scored in all of their qualifying matches and reached the play-offs on their competition debut last season, with Arsenal and eventual champions Barcelona the only teams to beat them.

Barca are also back in action at home to Paris FC, who they beat 2-0 away last season.

The visitors were the second-lowest scorers among the teams not to be eliminated after the league phase last season, while the hosts can call upon the likes of 2025/26 Champions League top scorer Ewa Pajor and new signing Kerolin in attack.

Our three-leg treble (odds are from bet365 and correct at 11:00 BST on September 23)

Alycia Parks vs Leylah Fernandez: More than 8.5 games in first set @ 4/9

Leuven Women vs Roma Women: Both teams to score @ 4/6

Barcelona to beat Paris FC Women to nil @ 2/5


A £10 stake will return £42.78
