Fernandez flounders against Bencic, Swiss star powers through in Miami
WTASaturday, 25 March 2023 at 01:28
It was a bad day at the office for Leylah Fernandez, who was dispatched of by Belinda Bencic on Friday at the 2023 Miami Open.
Bencic recorded an easy 6-1 6-1 win over the 2023 US Open runner-up, as Fernandez was unable to summon any facet of the game that saw her reach the final in New York. The Canadian failed to impress on serve, winning only 3 of 13 points behind her second serve.
Conversely, the Swiss star remained aggressive as she dictated play from the baseline. Bencic never faced a break point, and looked extremely comfortable throughout their 67 minute encounter.
The ninth seed advances to the third round, where she will face 18th seeded Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
