Leylah Annie Fernandez family relives Roland Garros win, plans for Charleston tournament. markhmasters has MORE:
Leylah will finally have some new rivals next month as she's one of 16 players scheduled to take part in the Credit One Bank Invitational in Charleston, S.C. Among those also on the entry list are Bianca Andreescu and Sofia Kenin, the last two major winners, as well as Victoria Azarenka, Genie Bouchard and Sloane Stephens.
The annual clay court tournament at the venue, the Volvo Car Open, was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. "It's an amazing opportunity," Leylah said of the team event, which starts June 23."I'm able to play against players in the top 100, top 50, and even some players in the top 10, so to be invited to that tournament gives me motivation to train harder."
But playing in the age of COVID-19 isn't straightforward and Jorge says they're planning to make the eight-hour drive up the coast rather than risk flying. "Anyone who tells you they aren't concerned, I don't think they're looking at the facts really well," Jorge said."I'm glad the tournament will have rules and guidelines to follow... we have to tread carefully and be aware that this can happen to anybody and if it can happen to anybody then we’re all at risk. So at some point I take off my coach hat and say, 'I’m a father.
