This trophy is for you.” These are the words Filipino Canadian tennis champ Leylah Fernandez echoed during her thank-you speech after clinching her first WTA 500 title at the Mubadala Citi D.C. Open on Sunday.

CoCo Vandeweghe believes that Leylah Fernandez is a ‘threat at the US Open’ after the Canadian lifted the Citi DC Open title, with Steve Johnson adding that he predicts ‘big things’ for the 22-year-old.
