Former U.S. Open finalist Leylah Fernandez advanced to her first semifinal of the year at the Eastbourne International by beating Harriet Dart 6-2, 6-1 on Thursday.
“I’m not the biggest nor the strongest out there on tour,” Fernandez said, “but I do know that if I move my feet right and I have a solid base on my legs, then I will be able to hit the balls that I want in the direction that I want it. So for me, the key is the legs and the footwork.”
Fernandez achieved her career-best result when she reached the 2021 U.S. Open final, losing to Raducanu. “The conditions are very tough. It’s super windy. It’s very difficult to do some nice things,” the Russian said. “ is having a great season. She’s playing amazing, she’s on fire. But I’m also not too bad. I think it’s going to be a good match tomorrow.”
