Fernandez flounders against Bencic, Swiss star powers through in Miami
WTASaturday, 25 March 2023 at 01:28
It was a bad day at the office for Leylah Fernandez, who was dispatched of by Belinda Bencic on Friday at the 2023 Miami Open.
Bencic recorded an easy 6-1 6-1 win over the 2023 US Open runner-up, as Fernandez was unable to summon any facet of the game that saw her reach the final in New York. The Canadian failed to impress on serve, winning only 3 of 13 points behind her second serve.
Conversely, the Swiss star remained aggressive as she dictated play from the baseline. Bencic never faced a break point, and looked extremely comfortable throughout their 67 minute encounter.
The ninth seed advances to the third round, where she will face 18th seeded Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova.

- That was a hideous display. Condescending Collins is no friend to tennis. She said she was retiring and should follow through. Sooner the better for the sport. BTW: As I read it in the WTA Rulebook 2025, it seems she broke at least two regulations in her post-match childish behavior. BTW: There are reasons she has no sponsors... and she displayed several of those reasons today.mandoist16-01-2025
