Leylah Fernandez to miss exhibition match against Coco Gauff in Atlanta
WTAFriday, 22 July 2022 at 03:00
Tennis superstar Leylah Fernandez will be unable to compete against American Coco Gauff in a previously scheduled exhibition match at the Atlanta Open, as the Canadian is still recovering from an injury.
Fernandez suffered a foot fracture at the French Open, and was spotted walking on crutches soon after. Although she hoped to be cleared in time for the exhibition match, which takes place on July 24, Fernandez recorded a message for her fans and revealed her doctor ordered her to not play any competitive tennis for another three weeks.
The 2021 US Open runner-up will be replaced by American Taylor Townsend, although Fernandez hopes to be completely recovered in time for the last Grand Slam of the year at Flushing Meadows.

- 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".
