Leylah Fernandez and her clay game is a work in progress but the young Canadian is showing her huge progress on the surface this year. There have been several matches where she played rather well and today, against a tricky opponent, she shined bright.

She took a 4-2 lead and gave it right back only to break her opponent once more for the 5-3 lead. Then she closed it out with 6-3. Siniakova tried several things but nothing really worked for her because she could not outhit her opponent from the baseline.
