ADELAIDE, Australia – The Fruhvirtova sisters didn’t exactly get draw luck in Auckland this week.
Younger Brenda drew 2021 US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez of Canada (and got steamrolled).
Older sister Linda gets … 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu.
They won’t forget this tournament for awhile.
In Adelaide, a big load of goodies.
