CANADIAN Leylah Fernandez, 19, continued her stunning run to move into the U.S. Open semifinals by upsetting No. 5 seed Elina Svitolina 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (5) in New York on Tuesday. “I was only thinking of trusting myself, trusting my game. After every point, win or lose, I would always tell myself, ‘Trust my game. Go for my shots. Just see where the ball goes,’” said Fernandez, who turned 19 Monday and had never been past the third round in her previous half-dozen major appearances. “I see what I’m feeling. I see if there’s one phrase that really catches me or that makes me more motivated than the others. I just keep it throughout the match.” With no players from the United States left to pull for, U.S. Open fans are adopting their neighbors from the North — although the 73rd-ranked Fernandez actually is based in Florida after being born in Montreal to a Filipino Canadian mother and an Ecuadorian father. Another Canadian moved into the semifinals when 21-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime’s opponent Tuesday night, 18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, stopped playing in the second set while trailing 6-3, 3-1 because of an issue with a muscle in his right leg. Alcaraz was coming off two five-set wins in a row — including against No. 3 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas — that made him the youngest male quarterfinalist in New York since 1963. (SD-Agencies) |
