Leylah Annie Fernandez had a couple of successful but taxing months recently. The Canadian sensation was the runner-up at the US Open following an incredible run. 19-year-old reached the final in New York after winning 4 consecutive 3-setters against top players before losing to Emma Raducanu.
Later, Leylah also had a good tournament in Indian Wells, where she reached the fourth round. It’s not surprising that the young Canadian decided to take a nice break with her family in the Caribbean Island of Providenciales, Turks and Caicos.
