–

Another doubleheader for Canadian Leylah Fernandez, who got through a pair of squeakers on Tuesday and has another – the first against No. 4 seed and 2023 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.

Rybakina, though, has not played in quite some time and arrives in Cincinnati underdone and a question mark.

So if you’re going to cause the upset, this is not a bad time.

Also on tap is Toronto champion Jessica Pegula, and No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka.
