This might be her last Junior tournament she says. No Wimbledon for sure.

She confirmed it, she will not play Wimbledon.

Nice article about Leylah and Tennis Canada's plans to get her to the next level. Having a full time coach other than her father will be a must. He has done a great job so far but I guess an experienced coach is needed as soon as possible. He can go on taking care of Bianca Jolie, his youngest daughter of 15. He can't coach both any ways.
Leylah says in the article that Justine Henin is one of her idols and that a coach told her in Paris that her style is pretty similar to Henin's.

Yes but only if the experienced coach has complete control. You do not want a Wozniacki's situation .

I think it is a bit early to talk about the Rogers Cup main draw WC...

If she does play the Jr. US Open, then I guess she could be interested to go at the 2019 ITF Junior Masters in late October, to officially end her Junior playing.

It is a bit confusing, she said that she is done with Junior but then enters USO JR... may be it is just back up

« Moi, j’ai commencé à parler à mon père [Jorge Fernandez] de quitter les rangs juniors dès la fin de 2018, a-t-elle avoué. Puis, d’un commun accord, on a finalement décidé d’y rester jusqu’en juin de cette année.

« Disons que ça s’est terminé de la plus belle des façons, avec notre victoire en France. Maintenant, on passe à un tout autre niveau. »

I remember when her father said she wasn't going to play at Wimbledon, he went on to says perhaps she'd play in NY because it's closer to home.

Yes, he did. I guess all this it is result oriented




Plus rien à prouver chez les juniors pour Leylah Annie Fernandez

Her match will be on TVA Sport 2 at 6:30pm

 

[guichard]

If she wins tomorrow, she will make it to USO Qualifying

That would be amazing.
So I changed my mind another time. The way she performed in the passed 2 weeks shows she's too good for Juniors. It would be considered vulturing if she plays Juniors again. She hasn't withdrawn yet from Jr. USO, but I'm sure she will.

I agree but I guess it depends if she wants to go for Junior #1...

Yup, it was pretty one sided. Cabrera was too good today...
