Canada's Leylah Fernandez secured a dominant 6-1, 6-4 victory over Hungary's Dalma Galfi in the second round of the Japan Open tennis tournament in Osaka. This win marks a significant step forward in Fernandez's professional career. The 20-year-old native of Laval, Quebec, showcased her prowess with a strong performance, hitting one ace and breaking her opponent's serve three times out of eight opportunities. Her first-serve success rate was impressive, winning 78% of those points, compared to her opponent's 55%. Galfi, despite her efforts, struggled to maintain her serve, recording three aces and two double faults, and ultimately failed to convert her lone break-point chance. Fernandez's next challenge awaits as she will face Slovakia's Rebecca Sramkova in the upcoming match. This win not only highlights Fernandez's talent but also her determination to excel on the international tennis stage.
