Canada's Leylah Fernandez wins Hong Kong Open final for 3rd career WTA title

Leylah Fernandez rallied from a set down to defeat Katerina Siniakova 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 and win the Hong Kong Open for her first tennis title in 19 months.

It is the third title of the 21-year-old Canadian's career and first since winning at Monterrey in March 2022. After the win, she will also move back inside the top 50 in the rankings next week.

"We had a very, very hard past couple of years," Fernandez said. "My family, my parents, my coach, and my performance coach stayed by my side."

"They motivated me to keep going and the hard work is paying off. Hopefully, we can keep going this way."
