    Such a clear and concise way of expressing herself! I don't think I've seen many better discourses from sports-people. Most impressive, and a beautiful tennis-player too. Great future ahead!

      Totally agree. I was feeling the need to propel myself in leaving one of those meaningless comments saying: "So intelligent and eloquent!"
      Well, that's why she is so good. She will be #1.

    There is something very special about Leylah Anne Fernandez her, maybe it’s her X-factor that I love. If I am being honest Leylah is by far my favorite tennis players (in the world).
    She is a joyful person with a wonderful smile. I love her.

      Wrong! her dad is from Ecuador, so if any, she is Ecuadorian-Canadian.
      But she was born and raised in Canada, represents Canada...she doesn't even speak tagalog...i bet she doesn't even fart like a filipina.

    To have so much to teach at such a young age is truly amazing. About how to perform under pressure. About how to deal with adversity. About how to respond to unfair criticism. About how to maintain your self belief in the teeth of unrelenting criticism. This young woman is truly inspiring. She’s a lion on court, and gazelle off it. What a way to be. And she has a face of such radiant goodness and loving-kindness, it’s actually painful to look at. I don’t believe in God, but I’m pretty sure this is a child of his right here……

    I thought that the sweetest and most beautiful was Emma Raducanu, but having met her and speaking seriously, without letting herself be enchanted by easy appearances, YOU are by far the truest, sincere, mild, joyful, humane, dispenser of serenity, sympathy and love. An angel in the heart, in the soul, in the person, in the face, in the eyes and above all in the smile! Beautiful, beautiful, wonderful Leylah!!!!!!!!🀄

She will be around for a long time. I hope she never gets a tattoo. Looking forward to seeing you play in your next tournament.

    I like Leylah and I think she should have won the US Open. That being said it is frustrating seeing her not evolve. She hasn't done anything new this year, in fact she has regressed seeing as her ranking is lower than it was this time last year. Her US Open performance last year should have led to more victories against top ten players.

    • @FBGoddess12
      @FBGoddess12 Рік тому +13

      She has absolutely evolved. She has done much better up to before the US Open this year than she did at the same point last year. Her injury at the French Open derailed her a little bit, but I have no doubt she will build back up next year.
