Leylah Fernandez wins marathon set 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 against Beatriz Haddad Maia
It took just under three hours for Leylah Fernandez to qualify for the round of 16 in front of her hometown crowd after beating Beatriz Haddad Maia 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 at IGA Stadium on Wednesday evening.“I was able to get to a point today where I was feeling more in control, and that’s what we want so I was able to execute the game plan,” said Fernandez. “I think the adrenalin plays a big part of it. I know the work that I’ve been putting in during training and fitness sessions.
Fernandez then extended her advantage during the first set, making several impressive shots along the sideline, breaking Haddad Maia’s serve for the second time in a row. As the second set began by trading service game wins, both were looking for an opportunity to get a leg up. Fernandez would be the first to pounce after forcing break point and capitalizing after Haddad Maia double faulted.
“When I lost that match point, I was beating myself up and then I lost the second set I thought ‘it’s going to be hard so let’s fight,”’ said Fernandez. “At the end of the day I was just trying to enjoy the moment.”
