The WTA 1000 in Toronto 2024 draw is now without Canadians in the round of 16 after the elimination of Marina Stakusic and Leylah Fernandez, particularly painful for the latter, from whom great things are always expected. At 21 years old, we are still waiting for a bit more consistency to see her best version in these types of events, although this time she fell clearly to Ashlyn Krueger (6-4, 6-2). Later, she would have time to discuss her on-court experience with the press.

“You all saw what happened, it wasn't the prettiest match, it wasn't my best match. I think from start to finish, I couldn't take advantage of the opportunities given to me; I had a couple of break points at the beginning and end of the sets, but I couldn't convert any of them. I think I should have been more aggressive, but I wasn't. I wasn't there mentally, I wasn't there physically,” assessed a Leylah who later managed to advance to the doubles quarterfinals.
