WTA Down Under – Thursday, Jan. 6, 2022 final results

–

Canadian Leylah Fernandez was in action twice on Thursday – both times against Grand Slam champions.

First, she squared off against 2020 Roland Garros champ Iga Swiatek in what had potential to be a good one, but was a rout with Swiatek showing incredible level.

Later, Fernandez and Erin Routliffe withdrew from their doubles match against Ashleigh Barty and Storm Sanders in doubles, with Fernandez having a little … niggle.

Meanwhile, in Melbourne, both Naomi Osaka and Simona Halep were in action on Rod Laver Arena and prevailed impressively.
