Fernandez Whips up a Frenzy against Fruhvirtova
Brenda Fruhvirtova is only 15 years of age but has already broken into the top 130 of the WTA rankings. However, in her first round match against Fernandez, the Czech player proved to be of no match as the Canadian romped to an easy win.
In a match lasting a mere 61 minutes, Fernandez crushed her teenaged opponent 6-1, 6-1 to advance to the second round.
With a first serve win percentage of 78%, saved all the four break-points she faced while dishing out five breaks of serves to her opponents from the 10 opportunities she had.
This was a much-needed win for the world number 40, who looked to have lost her way last season following a career-best ranking of 13th at one stage in 2021.
A result like this should go some way in boosting her morale as Fernandez prepares for the sterner challenges ahead.

Grabher Shocks Martincova
Grabher was 2/1 underdog in her opening round encounter against Tereza Martincova and those odds worsened for her when she lost the opening set to her Czech opponent.
That did not deter the Austrian player though as she stormed into the second round from that position, winning 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 in two hours.
The sudden unravelling of Martincova will need a postmortem of its own but for now suffice to say that Grabher found her mojo after having squandered a 3-1 lead in the first set, and also after serving to make it 5-3.
Three breaks of serves in the second set levelled the scoreline before Grabher came back from a break down in the decider to clinch it.
She will hope she can show a similar kind of form coming up against Fernandez in the second round.
