Leylah Fernandez has some unfinished business with Ons Jabeur.
The Canadian teenager appeared to be well on her way to victory over Jabeur in their first-ever meeting, a round of 64 contest at last summer's Cincinnati Masters, but Fernandez allowed her more experienced opponent to fight back from a 0-6 first set to claim the next two sets — and the match.
The duo will meet up again on Thursday, this time on the grass courts at the Viking Birmingham Classic. The round of 16 match sees 18-year-old Fernandez gunning for revenge against the 26-year-old Tunisian, who entered the tournament as the second seed.
Fernandez has already taken down one veteran so far this week — she downed Wang Yafan in straight sets on Tuesday — so she'll aim to use that momentum to take her past Jabeur and even up their lifetime series.
