Canada’s tennis star Leylah Fernandez has revealed that she is
looking forward to recovering from her impressive start at the Australian Open by
watching a crime drama.
The first Grand Slam of the year has begun on Sunday where
players from all over the world are participating to showcase their talent and
battling it out to secure the ultimate prize.
Fernandez secured a thumping win in her first-round clash of
the mega-event against the Czech Republic’s Sara Bejlek with a score of 7-6,
6-2. Talking after the match, the 21-year-old revealed that she is looking
forward to recovering by watching a crime drama.
"First I’m gonna recover. After, I’ll probably watch a
show called ‘Reacher’,” she said. “It's pretty good one. Maybe I’m gonna
crochet a bit. I love crocheting. It was a tough first-round match against
Sara; she is a very, very good young player.
“I haven't played many lefties, so it was a tough one, but
I'm super happy that I was able to play some good points in some important
moments, and playing in front of an amazing crowd feels good.”
Fernandez will have some time to recover from the contest as
she is now set to face America’s Alycia Parks in the second round of the Australian
Open on Wednesday.
