Canadian tennis star Leylah Fernandez made headlines with her brilliant tennis display at the 2021 US Open. However, the young tennis star has failed to replicate a similar performance in the year 2022. While she has already gained the experience of a Grand Slam final, the 20-year-old would now look to solidify her position on the WTA rankings.

The Canadian tennis star is pretty close to her family and particularly to her father. The 20-year-old recently posted some memorable photographs with her father on social media.
