She's a former US Open finalist, a three-time WTA titlist, and Billie Jean King Cup champion!
Leylah Annie Fernandez makes her return to Match Point Canada as she catches up with Mike and Ben in the midst of the grass-court season.
The Canadian discusses adapting to the surface change, her season as a whole, her hopes to represent Canada at the Olympics, and rapid fire questions!
Meanwhile, Rebecca Marino won a 100K event, Milos Raonic had a record-setting day of aces at Queen's Club, and Jannik Sinner earned a title on the surface.
Ben also speaks with Tennis Canada's senior manager of High Performance, Melissa Lacroix, on the development and progress of the team's prospect camps.
