Canada's Leylah Fernandez ousted from Indian Wells after grueling 4th-round loss
CBC
Canada's rising tennis star Leylah Fernandez has been eliminated at Indian Wells.
The 19-year-old from Laval, Que., lost to American Shelby Rogers, 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 in the round of 16 of the BNP Paribas Open on Tuesday.
Fernandez showed plenty of fight, saving match point at 5-6 in the third, before ultimately falling short in a final set that lasted 83 minutes.
It's a career-best result at the WTA 1000 level for Fernandez, who won her first WTA title in March at the Monterrey Open and was a finalist at the U.S. Open in September.
