With Shapovalov and Aliasim teaming up to win this year's ATP Cup for Canada, the focus of the tennis world is once again on Canadian players.
In recent years, maple leaf kingdom's achievements on the court are still remarkable.
Apart from the black and white pairs, Bouchard and Raonic have not heard from each other for a long time. The former is busy attending the entertainment industry, while the latter is subject to injuries and has long since lost the courage to beat Federer to win the second place at Wimbledon in 2016.
Andreescu announced his early withdrawal from this year's Australian Open competition, and there is not much news about last year's US Open runner-up Fernandez.
Compared to their opponent Raducannu, who won the final, Fernandez received much less attention after the game. There are not many high-end endorsements, nor attend various events, and it feels like it has disappeared.
In fact, taking a closer look at the past year, this young girl has created a lot of achievements. Like what:
In March, at the Monterrey Race in Mexico, she won her first solo tour title.
Of course, her highlight moments came in August. She beat her opponents on the way to the final of the US Open, including two former champions (Naomi Osaka and Kerber) and three top five seeds (Sabalenka, Naomi Osaka, Svitolina)
However, she failed to soar like her sister Andreescu two years ago. After the game, she became the third Canadian player to finish second in a Grand Slam singles, along with Bouchard and Raonic.
Still, she managed to soar in her rankings, rising from 66th to 27th before the competition.
According to her grades as a teenager, her future can be expected!
In 2019, she won the French Open Junior Division, becoming the second person after Bouchard. At the 2020 Australian Open, she made her Grand Slam debut, and in 2021, she finished second at a Grand Slam.
One step a year, so on, in the chaotic era of women's tennis, it is not impossible to seize the opportunity to win a Grand Slam championship.
Fernandez's playing style belongs to the spiritual sect, paying attention to change, four or two thousand pounds, therefore, for her ball dealer, the industry gave high praise.
At present, Raducannu has become famous too quickly, so that after winning the championship, it has fallen into a slump. Fernandez has not received much attention at the moment, which is conducive to her low-key polishing of her results.
This year, can this sweet-smiling girl surprise us again? Let's wait and see! (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
