Leylah Fernandez vs Sara Sorribes Tormo

[@jdoesmath2065]

I like Leyla ... she doesn't grunt, shriek, nor howl when she hits the ball. I like Swiatek, Pegula and Gauff for the same reason.

[@almanns.batiao9516]

And Elena Rybakina too.

[@SallyLanger-rd6ew]

Me too. That grunting is so obnoxious…Sabalenka I have to mute to watch

[@Drbolbolpilote]

Gaudf a little less if I am being honest tho

[@bartonpercival3216]

I always love it when Screamalenka loses a match. Her screaming at every ball is so annoying!!!!!!! 👍🎾

[@mari-jeanbowker5758]

Just love to watch Leylah play, She's a fierce competitor n deserves every win she gets❤

epic match. 10x better than the pathetic WTA finals. also: perfect highlights, no bs. thanks!

Yeah she's very good at that.

Congratulation leyla, fernandez very nice play with that move I should say you can be a champion in a major tennis tournament ,, take care and God bless you

[@lawrencehillis5565]

WOW Leylah, what a tremendous match you had today. A great performance, winning two sets and going to a tiebreaker in both sets. Way to hit the corners. Good luck in your doubles match comming up. Canada is really proud of you and it is great to have you training in the US, from your biggest fan in Alabama.

[@corgeousgeorge]

These two are a pair of the most dynamic warriors on the tour, neither EVER give an inch and always give their all every point in every match. Hearts of Lions both. Fernandez is such an exciting player to watch with all of her angles and power from such a small frame and Tormo excites with her scrambling despite her height she moves so well.

[@allanipreston4639]

My, my, my............ Leylah wanted that so bad all she could vision was beating her personal inconsistencies and staying laser focus on a WIN for sure! So glad her efforts prevailed!

[@JohnSmith-xx9th]

Yes, inconsistency is the right word.

[@counsela9240]

Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@DrElectron1]

Great match. Well done Leylah.

[@arkinsam7733]

game over when Leyla started coming to the net

[@FinancialFreebo]

From the points that I watched, the big difference in this match was that Sorribes Tormo hits the majority if her shots right back to her opponent. At the pro level, that is a losing formula....

[@FinancialFreebo]

@@jesuslovesmebut8180 I hear you, but that's why she will never be high ranked. The winning formula is... when you have enough time to get your feet set, you go down the line or cross court. Period. I'm not saying she is the most athletic or the most consistent, but Ostapenko comes to mind. She busts the ball for a winner, or accepts losing. That is one example of how to play aggressive, high ranking, women's tennis... Gauff is playing more that way too and look at her results...

[@isabellasmith8377]

I agree. You give penko a ball down the middle and she can hit winners both left and right. Leylah needs more power coz she can hit her spots more accurately now but the pace is slow. Happy to see a more consistent leylah

[@oscardavidbenedetto4374]

Muy Sufrido,Pero Bien,Leylah Fernandez ,Felicitaciones!!

Improved form from Fernandez in the latter half of 2023. I hope it continues.

[@landoevora6153]

Wow great match Leyla keeping your calm patiently hitting your winners. You improved big on your groundstrokes. I'm a fan since your US Open stint.

[@CertifiedCruella]

Wish Leylah can improve her power so she can compete against the top girls

[@maxm17]

Yes!!! Come on Leylah. Some highlight reel shots at the end. Not an easy match at all. Opponent played really well, and kept finding lines, and tbh the grunting was kind of annoying

[@mingo3841]

i'm so glad she beat her. tormo's never say die attitude didn't work against someone who has the same attitude..well done, leylah..

[@wcoastbo]

Wow! what a battle. a couple points here or there and this match is 2-0 the other direction. both woman played extremely well.

[@corgeousgeorge]

Leylah clutched victory out of the jaws of defeat like... a bunch. That match point was incredible, Leylah's speed and anticiplation are just incredible. Tormo should be very proud of her fight tho. No shame in this loss.

[@willybeama1]

I actually watched a WTA match that was entertaining. I guess it is still possible.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Well done Leylah 👏❤️

[@jocelyngarces6727]

So true. Leylah’s level is at par with Tormo which isnt high. Would love to see more variety in her shots so she doesn't become too predictable Leylah has improved a lot. Congrats!

[@dinglydell1456]

Could you take a game off either of them? Thought not….

[@isabellasmith8377]

I agree. To compete with the top 10 she has to rise above SST by being less predictable.i love her new repertoire! That backhand down the line is getting better! Her wide serve is also awesome and more consistent now. Well done Leylah!

Awesome match!

[@Birdylockso]

Was Sara Sorribes Tormo in the double's match that her opponents hit a ball girl and got disqualified?

[@Helstar74]

Correct. And to be precise, SHE (and Bouzkova too) pushed the umpire to DQ them, by even saying ''ballgirl is crying AND also bleeding" (wut ?)

[@Helstar74]

Always a victory for tennis when Princess Leylah wins or when unsportive Sorribes loses. Double victory when both things happen at once !

[@isabellasmith8377]

Idk why but i avoid highlights that feature Tormo. Irritating noise and aesthetically unpleasing to the eye

[@Helstar74]

@@isabellasmith8377It's more than that. With Bouzkova, she is the protagonist of the double match fiasco against Miyu Kato in RG, nobody can stand them anymore ! Such a pathetic behaviour from them, asking for the default for an harmless ball that a distracted ballgirl didn't catch...

[@jackih2011]

That's how to win a match! Congrats Leylah! Girl has some serious weapons! That forehand and that slice! Lol

[@markuse3472]

So many, too many back and forth's for these two where most top players would have put those shots away. I am here for Leylah so this is about her and how unfortunate it is being her fan. Anyway, congrats.

[@isabellasmith8377]

I agree. When there’s a wide open space but they decide to send the ball back to opponent even when pace is slow…… But I noticed Leylah taking more risks with her backhand down the line. Well done!

[@isabellasmith8377]

Long rallies arent entertaining if the players just keep pushing the ball back. It!s fun when both players have to keep guessing where the next shot will land and all corners of the court are used….that’s entertainment

[@fritzdc6769]

@@isabellasmith8377you don't see the spin during the court and leylah can see it. They do their shots for a reason. Tormo is pusher with topspin it troubles the game of leylah because you can see how quickly she dispatches the other players

Thank u for this. I like her slices in this tournament, more accurate ball placement

Yes a lot of the commentators chat too much even to me when it is not necessary. Yes I know it's their job but sometimes overbearing too.

I don't know know much about Sara Sorribes Tormo...but it's not enjoyable to watch her matches with her obnoxious grunting - a page out of the Russian playbook. Leylah has really levelled up a couple of notches this year...really impressive stuff

[@chrisfernandez8916]

god those grunts are sooooo freeking annoying and they are becoming more common over the years. It's like if coaches over time, have introduced them being part of training/strategy like if you'll hit the ball better or it will intimidate opponents or something. I can't imagine how distracting it could be for opponents during play. Somebody someday will raise the question if it's unsportsmanship and should be called/warned during games.
