Leylah Fernandez Player Overview
It has been a turbulent season for the Canadian, but she has clearly found her game heading into Singapore. Leylah is playing her favourite style right now - aggressive and bold. She is hitting heavy topspin off her left hand, generating tremendous pace and simply overwhelming opponents with the tempo she sets. At this tournament she has been relentless: a routine win over Okamura (6-2, 6-3), a controlled performance against the powerful Parks (6-4, 6-3), and then a statement quarter-final display, knocking out Mirra Andreeva in straight sets (6-2, 7-5). Fernandez is in a good place mentally at the moment, retrieving balls that look gone and transitioning instantly into attack - much as she did in her best periods.

Maja Chwalinska Player Overview
The Pole has been the standout story of Singapore. Nobody particularly expected her to make such an impression on hard courts, but Maya is showing that intelligent tennis still counts. She doesn't just blast the ball - she plays with her head: disrupting rhythm, dropping perfect short balls, throwing up lobs and simply frustrating opponents with her variety. She moved through the draw without breaking a sweat - dismantling Shramkova 6-4, 6-2, dropping just one game against Oleynikova, and then producing a genuine shock in the quarter-finals by routing Elise Mertens 6-2, 6-2. For Chwalinska, it is the first win over a top-20 player in her career, and right now she looks and feels completely untouchable. Though it is worth remembering who she faces next.
