Canada's Leylah Fernandez reached the semifinals of the Hong Kong open with a 7-6 , 6-2 win over Linda Fruhvirtova of the Czech Republic on Friday.
"First semifinal in a long time," said Fernandez, who has struggled to find the form she displayed during a breakout 2021 season, which included a run to the U.S. Open final. "Getting these wins is extra special given what's been going on these past few years. The 21-year-old from Laval, Que., broke Fruhvirtova three times on seven chances and won 71 per cent of her service points to reach the final four of a WTA tournament for the first time in 19 months.
