Australian teenager Maya Joint has brought in-form local hope Leylah Fernandez crashing back down to earth at the Canadian Open, where top seed Coco Gauff was given an almighty scare before advancing.
Fernandez, a former US Open finalist now ranked No.24 in the world, collected the biggest title of her career on Sunday when she won the DC Open in Washington, thrashing Anna Kalinskaya 6-1 6-2 in the final.
But her return home in triumph did not last long, Joint beating the Quebec native 6-4 6-1 in Montreal on Tuesday (local time).
