Leylah Fernandez finds someone she really met before second date
Leylah Fernandez spoke about when and where this happened. In early August 2025, after her WTA 500 title at the Citi DC Open in Washington, D.C., she invited fans to message her for a one-hour date in Montreal.Many international people reached out, but she thought it would be unfair to ask someone to fly in. A few days later, in Montreal, she saw one message that made her pause. She asked, “Did you even see my video?” and the guy said, “No, I didn’t.” She laughed and said his message still stood out.Then she “stalked him” a little online to make sure he was a real person. Her family and team also gave their thoughts, and they were okay with it. She has already been on a second date and they are staying in touch.
