At the BNB Ningbo Open 2026, a WTA 500 hard-court tournament, Bouzkova defeated Rakhimova 6–4, 6–4 on October 19, Zakharova 7–5, 6–2 on October 21, then Bejlek 6–3, 6–4 on October 23. Fernandez defeated Mertens 2–6, 6–3, 7–5 on October 19, then Sasnovich 7–5, 6–7(3), 6–3 on October 21.
Bouzkova therefore has a documented lower workload in terms of the number of sets, while Fernandez still had to play her quarterfinal against Alexandrova. No contextualized figures for duration, serving, or returning have been established.
Head-to-head
No recent head-to-head between Fernandez and Bouzkova is documented in the retained information. The comparison therefore rests on their respective paths in Ningbo, which does not constitute a direct history and does not automatically establish an advantage in this matchup.
