Difficult recovery for Fernandez à l’Abn
In recent days have brought good news to Leylah Fernandez. Lavalloise ended a scarcity of more than a year by beating Anna Kalinskaya on Sunday in the final in Washington.
It was a considerable triumph, since Washington is a 500 category tournament.
However, the bad news is that she had too little time to prepare for the Montreal tournament. The left-hander bowed 6-4 and 6-1 against Maya joined to the first round of the National Bank Omnium presented by Rogers.
The young player of 22, usually full of enthusiasm, was eliminated Tuesday in an hour and 16 minutes, in stifling conditions.
“My level of play does not reflect what I really felt, because I was so happy and it was such an honor to be back in Montreal and play in front of my audience, in my hometown where it all started,” said Fernandez, disappointed, to journalists.

“The way I played today does not correspond to what I felt before the match, and what it means to play in Montreal. »»
Even if almost all of Tuesday’s program was devoted to the meetings of the second round, Fernandez’s long stay in the American capital delayed his entry into play in Montreal.
She hoped to play in the evening, but finally played a match in a difficult afternoon for Canadian women. Not only was Fernandez eliminated, but Bianca Andreescu retired against the fourth seeded Mirra Andreeva due to the ankle injury she suffered on Sunday evening. At the start of the day, Rebecca Marino, who had obtained a pass for the main draw, bowed against Emma Navarro.
In Washington, Fernandez had disposed of joint in two rounds thanks to a solid game in the service and winning 72 percent of the second balls of the Australian teenager.
Tuesday, it was joined that feasted from the second services of Fernandez, winning 75 percent of these points.
“I think my level of play today was due to fatigue, at a short time between the matches and the additional pressure that I imposed myself,” said Fernandez.
Joint was always going to make a major challenge. On such a date last year, she was not even part of the Top 150. Two titles later in 2025, and now the Australian, who was born in Detroit, is well established in the top 50.
Portrait of Andrescu
Andreescu did not have the opportunity to confirm his victory against Barbora Krejcikova, another champion of a Grand Chelem tournament.
Indeed, the winner of the 2019 United States of the United States left the site on Sunday with crutches after being injured in the left ankle by hitting a lawyer on a match ball. We can say that the Mississauga player, Ontario, is not playing luck with injuries.
When she spoke to journalists after her withdrawal, Andreescu said she was torn from the ligaments, which is not a first.
She was however happy to have been able to finish her duel against Krejcikova, encouraged by the Montreal public still as enthusiastic.
“The public was incredible,” said Andreescu. I don’t think I have already played in front of an audience like this, especially towards the end. The emotions I felt from everyone were really incredible. Yes, the Montreal public has something special. »»
She hopes to be ready for cincinnati.
