"Playing for Canada always brings out the best in me as there’s nothing like being part of a team and competing together. Thank you to everyone who voted!” said Fernandez.
After her surprise run to the 2021 US Open final, Fernandez has been inconsistent on tour, suffering early exits along the way. However, the 20-year old is full of heart and fighting spirit, which has enamored her to millions of fans around the world. Furthermore, at such a young age she still has the potential to climb back up the WTA rankings and establish herself as one of the best players on tour.
