Canada’s Fernandez drops out of Hong Kong Open with shoulder injury
HONG KONG — Canada’s Leylah Fernandez withdrew from the Hong Kong Tennis Open on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.
The 24-year-old from Laval, Que., was scheduled to face American Sofia Kenin in the first round.
The withdrawal comes after Fernandez reached back-to-back WTA Tour finals in Tokyo and Ningbo, China.
Fernandez lost to Russia’s Diana Shnaider in Sunday’s Tokyo final, a week after falling to Elena Rybakina in Ningbo.
