In the family, Papa Jorge, mother Irene, the older sister of Jodech, as well as the younger sister of Bianca Jolie, who plays tennis and does not yet act in the main tour. In sports genes, Pope Jorge, who played football professionally and played for several clubs in South America. For the first time I met tennis at home courts in Montreal, but at the age of 12 the family moved to Florida in order to work with even more qualified specialists.
Now Leila is trained under the leadership of Father Horge Fernandez. In the early stages, Francisco Sanchez from Belgium in Montreal, as well as Dave Rinberg after moving to the States, took part in its formation. Training residence in Miami. Fernandes speaks freely in three languages: English, Spanish and French. Outside the tennis court, he is fond of dancing and even with his younger sister takes lessons on the salsa.
He likes to solve puzzles and collect a chubby cube. And it is noteworthy that at that time the sponsor was a private fund, but with Go received the so -called tennis scholarship. As a result, the number one in Junior tennis became deservedly. The debut at the WTA level in the first full -fledged season, in the main tour, Fernandez played about 40 meetings at various small tournaments in the period and this was enough to get into the TOP, but in Metata, it brightly played on junior Australian Open and Roland Garros, but at the same time actively performed at various tournaments of category W 10 and higher and reached the decisive stages.
It is necessary to distinguish the first and only title on the futures of the thousandnight in Gatino, as well as the debut match at the WTA level: I got Wild-card the basis of the home master in Toronto L Mara Buzkova. The great season for the young tennis player in the main tour and the TOP complaints still need to be allocated two events: the first victory over the top another productive season and 88 line in the ranking beat Belinda Benchich for the Canadian team.
Perhaps because of the trophy there was a decline, since right down to US Open, it was obvious that before the start of the US opening championship no one put on the summer Fernandez from the 73th line of the rating. But in fact, that tournament became one of the most epic in the history of female tennis. We are talking about two finalists, who was just Leila Fernandez and Emma Radukan.
In turn, Emma completely reached the final without losing a set, being a qualifier, that is, she won nine matches in a row with a score in the decisive match Fernandez failed to give a battle, losing both sets and title to Radukan. She completed the season in the status of 24 rackets of the world.
And yes, the miracle did not happen - the departure in the second round from Lyudmila Samsonova. Nevertheless, the Canadian issued two cool tournaments in m. Firstly, she defended the WTA title in Monterrey, winning all meetings as a favorite. Secondly, she showed the best result on Roland Garros: in the quarterfinals, lost to Martina Trevizan, closing on the grid, including Belind Benchich and Amanda Anisimova.
At the end of the season, it was in the top on October 23, a career maximum was recorded in the ranking - in a single discharge I won all four matches without loss of set: Sarah Sorristes Brack, Magda Linett, Market Vondroushova Fifth and the last still victory over the top, Jasmine Paolini. In the paired discharge, along with Gabriela Dabrovsky, a top duet in the person of Barbore Kreichikova and Katerina Sinyakova outplayed.
The best results in a solitary category at a large helmet tournaments: Australian Open - second round, 24, Roland Garros - quarterfinals, Wimbledon - second round, US Open - the final tennis player is not the highest centimeter growth, which feels great on quick coatings with a low rebound. At the same time, it acts in an aggressive manner on both sides, using the drop-plays.
And, of course, the advantage in the draws receives due to a powerful and flat left -handed ponde. For a girl with such anthropometry, it was as if it could have acted better at a reception: in M I won only a local drawback, you can consider unwillingness or inability to play on the grass: a balance on a career, that is, plays little and weakly in the herbal segment of the season.
