World No. 1 Iga Swiatek cruises to win over Leylah Fernandez in Dubai

Canadian Leylah Fernandez has shown recent progress, but Iga Swiatek proved to be too much of an obstacle on Tuesday at the Dubai Tennis Championships

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 win over Canada’s Leylah Fernandez in second-round action Tuesday at the Dubai Tennis Championships.

Fernandez, from Laval, Que., is still trying to get back into the form that propelled her to the 2021 U.S. Open final since recovering from a stress fracture in her foot that derailed the end of her 2022 campaign. She has shown recent progress, with a run to the quarter-finals last week in Doha, Qatar, and a confident 6-4, 6-2 first-round win over Julia Grabher on Sunday.

But Swiatek proved to be too much of an obstacle on Tuesday. The Polish star fired five aces and broke Fernandez six times on seven chances in a match that lasted just an hour and 12 minutes.Fernandez was next scheduled to team with Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the United States on Wednesday in a second-round doubles match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus and Xu Yifan of China.
