    WTA Tour: Fernandez Saves Two Match Points To Upset Rybakina In Cincinnati

    By IANS News August 15, 2024 • 23:46 PM View: 509
    Cincinnati Open WTA Tour: The 2021 US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez showed a welcome return to form as she halted Kazakhstan's No.4 seed Elena Rybakina's return to action in the second round of the Cincinnati Open with a hard-fought 3-6, 7-6(3), 6-4 win here on Thursday.

    Fernandez, who defeated three top-5 players before going down to fellow teenager Emma Raducanu in the 2021 US Open final, came back from a double match point down in the second set before prevailing over Rybakina.

    Rybakina was playing her first match since falling in the Wimbledon semifinals to eventual champion Barbora Krejcikova. Acute bronchitis had forced the Kazakhstani to withdraw from both the Paris Olympic Games and last week's WTA 1000 event in Toronto, and her rust showed throughout in the form of 17 double faults.
