Leylah Fernandez wins the DC Open fueled by Shake Shack. Alex de Minaur takes the men’s title
Leylah Fernandez has collected the biggest title of her career at the D.C. Open with her most lopsided victory of the tournament by defeating Anna Kalinskaya 6-1, 6-2 in the final. Sunday’s win gave the left-handed Fernandez her fourth singles trophy. All have come at hard-court tournaments. It is her first trophy at a WTA 500 event. She came close to a Grand Slam championship as a teenager at the 2021 U.S. Open, making it all the way to the final before losing to Emma Raducanu. Alex de Minaur won the men’s trophy by coming back from 5-2 down in the third set and saving three championship points to beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (3).
