Canadian tennis player Leylah Fernandez has continued her impressive run on the grass court this season with a first-round win at Wimbledon.
The 18-year-old from Laval, Quebec defeated Ukraine’s Kateryna Kozlova in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, in just over an hour and a half on Tuesday.
Fernandez, who is currently ranked 66th in the world, showed her dominance on the court with her powerful serves and precise shots. She also displayed her signature grit and determination, fighting through a few tough moments to secure the victory.
This win marks Fernandez’s first-ever main draw victory at Wimbledon, and it adds to her already impressive grass court season. She reached the quarter-finals at the Nottingham Open earlier this month and made it to the third round at the Birmingham Classic last week.
The young Canadian has been making waves in the tennis world since her breakout performance at the US Open last year, where she reached the fourth round as a qualifier. She has since climbed up the rankings and has become a force to be reckoned with on the court.
Fernandez’s next opponent at Wimbledon will be world No. 26 Madison Keys from the United States. The two have never faced each other before, but Fernandez is ready for the challenge and is determined to continue her winning streak.
With her impressive skills and unwavering determination, Fernandez is proving to be a rising star in the world of tennis. Fans and experts alike are eagerly watching her journey and are excited to see what she will achieve next.
