Leylah Fernandez saves five match points to defend Monterrey title
Leylah Fernandez said she was pleased with her fighting spirit after managing to save five championship points to defend her title in Monterrey on Sunday against Colombia's Camila Osorio. Playing her first title match since going down to Britain's Emma Raducanu in the US Open final, Fernandez rallied after losing the opening set and facing a 4-1 deficit in the decider to beat Osorio 6-7(5), 6-4, 7-6(3) in the WTA 250 tournament. "Today it was a very, very tough match, not only physically or tennis-wise, but mentally," Fernandez said.
