Leylah already waiting for Raducanu in Washington: "I know everyone is waiting for a rematch of the US Open final, but.."
We have the first finalist of the WTA 500 in Washington: Leylah Fernandez. The Canadian pulled off some incredible shots to defeat Rybakina in over three hours and advance to her first title match of the season. Who will she face tomorrow? Emma Raducanu or Anna Kalinskaya, although thinking about the British player takes us straight back to the final they had in New York four years ago. And Leylah knows it.
“Tomorrow will be a super tough match, for sure, both players have been having a spectacular tournament this week. I know everyone here is eager for a rematch of that US Open final, which was a great match back then and would be a great one here again, no doubt, but I'm convinced that facing Anna would also be a super tough challenge,” the player commented after her match this afternoon.
