Leylah Fernandez vs Jasmine Paolini

After a rough patch on tour, Fernandez has looked much better on grass. She outclassed the Queen's Club winner Tatjana Maria in straight sets and will fancy her chances in the second round. The Canadian likes to play an offensive brand of tennis and moves effortlessly on the court.

Paolini, meanwhile, was one of the favorites to make a deep run in Paris but couldn't hurdle past the last 16. The Italian will need to improve her intent in Bad Homburg after a lackluster performance in Berlin. She is known for her dynamic all-around game and decision-making skills on the court.

Paolini made it to the Wimbledon final last year and is expected to do well in the second round. But Fernandez has beaten her three times in the past and is currently in better form. The Canadian has a great chance to fight hard and stay alive at the Bad Homburg Open.

Pick: Fernandez to win in three sets.
