On the court, Fernandez will be looking to have a productive 2024 season.
"It wasn't a very good season for me, I give myself 4 out of 10" - Leylah Fernandez on her 2023 season
Leylah Fernandez recently addressed her hectic season on the tour last year.
Ever since she reached the final of the US Open in 2021, critics around the world have had high expectations from Fernandez. However, the Canadian had an inconsistent season last year.
During a recent interview, she reflected on her 2023 season and spoke about losing her on-court identity while attempting to improve her playing style.
"I lost my identity on the tennis court. I wanted to change my tennis, and it didn't help me. I lost a lot in the first and second rounds," Leylah Fernandez said, as quoted by RDS .
The Canadian also acknowledged the efforts taken by her father and coach Jorge to understand her situation.
"But I'm very lucky to have parents who are honest with me. My father Jorge told me that I was lost on the courts, that I didn't seem to be having fun like before," she continued.
Fernandez gave herself a four out of 10 rating for last year and looked forward to turning the tide in her favour in 2024.
"It wasn't a very good season for me. I give myself 4 out of 10 if I can be honest. It gave me a lot of confidence for the pre-season, to start training again and play well, I hope, in 2024," she said.
