–

MELBOURNE, Australia – Day Three on Australia, and the doubles events begin.

After her massive disappointment in singles Tuesday, Leylah Fernandez will look to at least get a few Ws in doubles with Canadian-Kiwi Partner Erin Routliffe.

The two played well together at the US Open – even through Fernandez’s run in singles. And had a good time doing it, too.
