MIAMI – In an exciting match at the Miami Open on Saturday, rising American tennis star Ashlyn Krueger showcased her talent and secured a significant victory against Leylah Fernandez. This win propels Krueger further in the tournament, marking a milestone in her career.
Ashlyn Krueger triumphed over Leylah Fernandez with scores of 6-1, 7-5 to reach the Round of 16 at the Miami Open. Her next opponent will be decided in a later match between No. 9 seed Zheng Qinwen and Taylor Townsend.
This achievement equals Krueger`s best performance in a major WTA 1000 tournament, matching her result from Toronto last year. Impressively, this is also her seventh victory against a Top 30 player this season, surpassing her total from all previous seasons. Only top players like Madison Keys, Mirra Andreeva, and Iga Swiatek have achieved more Top 30 wins this year.
Krueger`s powerful playing style was evident once again in the match against Fernandez. Notably, Fernandez couldn`t break Krueger`s serve throughout the match. Krueger`s count of unreturned serves is also remarkable, with only McCartney Kessler and Hailey Baptiste surpassing her current total of 69.
