Leylah Fernandez continues to anchor from the front at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Seville as she hauled Canada level seeing off Marketa Vondrousova to make it 1-1.
Fernandez was in superb form during the opening set going 6-2 up, but as ever with the unpredictable nature of women's tennis, the Montreal-born ace slipped to a second set 6-2 deficit before recovering her poise to take the third 6-3 to take the win with a superb celebration that followed showing what it meant to her.

The showdown will now be determined, with the winners set to face off against Italy. Now the doubles decider will see Gabriela Dabrowski and Eugenie Bouchard face off against stern opposition.
That being Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova, with the former anchoring them initially to a 1-0 lead with victory over Marina Stakusic which put them within striking distance of the final.
But now Fernandez did her job to keep them in it with a first win over a top 10 player since the 2021 US Open and she is showing similar form after recent title wins and confidence boost displays.

- Why do you even publish this TwatCaster's PATHETIC stunt for attention? There's plenty of reasons why imbeciles like him are 'talking' and people like Iga Swiatek are 'walking the walk'. Tennisuptodate should be above this tripe.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
