There were some fantastic matches during the 2021 US Open. One of the stars of the tournament was
Leylah Fernandez,
who wowed crowds with her crafty game and competitive spirit. Every
match Fernandez was involved in had drama, including the final.
The quarterfinal match against Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina caught my eye.
However, not for reasons I imagined. Fernandez’s running crosscourt
forehand in particular left me thinking, the shot reminds me of another
player. Then it dawned, Leylah Fernandez’s crosscourt forehand reminded me of Pete Sampras’ crosscourt forehand!
