The Canadian young talent is on the rise as a result of her outstanding performance in her round of 16 matches against American tennis pro-Amanda Anisimova. At 10 a.m. today (May 31), Leyla will face Italian Martina Trevisan in the quarter-finals of the French Open women’s championship.
The game promises to be exciting and action-packed because it will be a debut game between the two sensational tennis pros who have never met before, and anyone could win.
On Sunday, Leylah Fernandez and Martina Trevisan won hard-fought fourth-round matches to advance to the quarter-finals. Fernandez, the 17th seed, needed just over two hours to defeat the powerful Amanda Anisimova.
The Canadian won 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 thanks to her incredible shotmaking and scrambling abilities. With victories over Belinda Bencic and Kristina Mladenovic, Fernandez is emerging as a legitimate contender for the title.
Away from sports, Fernandez was born in the Canadian city of Montreal. Jorge, her father, is an ex-football player from Ecuador. Irene, her mother, is a Filipino Canadian.
