US Open 2022: 2021 runners-up Leylah Fernandez on surreal feeling after return to Flushing Meadows – I had goosebumps

India Today  

Canada’s Leylah Fernandez said that she had goosebumps after returning to the US Open at Flushing Meadows. Currently ranked World No.14, Fernandez, on Tuesday, August 30, defeated France’s Oceane Dodin 6-3, 6-4 at Louis Armstrong Stadium. Fernandez smashed 26 winners, but the fact that she made only nine unforced errors compared to her opponent’s 24 gave her the advantage. Fernandez will next be up against Russia’s Liudmila Dmitriyevna Samsonova, who defeated Czech Republic’s Sara Bejlek, in the second round on Wednesday, August 31.
