–

Both Leylah Fernandez (against young Czech sensation Brendra Fruhvirtova, whom she’ll be shocked to find is … five years younger than she is) and Rebecca Marino got under way in Auckland.

Both were victorious.

Erin Routliffe, the pride of Caledon, Ont. and a Montreal resident who reps New Zealand, was the No. 1 seed in the Auckland doubles with American Caroline Dolehide. But they went out in straight sets.
