Leylah Fernandez cruises past Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer to open Billie Jean King Cup qualifier
Leylah Fernandez kicked off Canada's run at the Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers in dominant fashion Friday, taking a 6-0, 6-3 win over Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium.
The 20-year-old from Laval, Que., used a powerful serve to put away four aces and won five-of-nine possible break points across the one-hour, five-minute match.
Wickmayer struggled at times, winning just 12-of-25 first service points and chalking up three double faults.
