Leylah Fernandez capitalised on her fourth match point to prevail against 5th seed Anna Blinkova 6-2 7-5: “Match was tough. She’s a tremendous player, who hits with a lot of power. I just tried to stay calm and remind myself it’s a battle, so just put on a good show for everyone. It feels amazing playing in front of the Hong Kong crowd. Thank you so much for coming out and I’ll see you tomorrow!”
