Iga Swiatek opens up about ‘anxiety’ after Ash Barty’s unprecdented retirement. Here's what she said

​Wild card entry

Four months later and on the other side of the world, Leylah Fernandez lost to a 133rd-ranked wild-card entry in her first Grand Slam match since her runner-up finish at the U.S. Open.

​First major event

The 19-year-old Canadian had an upset 6-2, 6-4 loss to Maddison Inglis in the first round of the Australian Open on Tuesday, the third straight year she's failed to progress to the second round at the first tennis major of the year.

​The game

Fernandez made 30 unforced errors, dropped her serve three times and hit only eight winners on 1573 Arena against Inglis, who converted her third match point to complete her very first win in the main draw of a major.

She lost in the first round at last year's Australian Open to then defending champion Sofia Kenin.

​Long way from home

For Fernandez, the venue and the vibe were a long way from her run to the final at Flushing Meadows, where she lost to Emma Raducanu. Raducanu was scheduled to play later Tuesday against 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens.

Navigating the first round at a major can be a tricky business, as two-time major winner Garbine Muguruza knows.

​Extra cautious

The third-seeded Muguruza kept a perfect streak intact when she won her first-round match at the Australian Open for the 10th straight time, beating No. 77-ranked Clara Burel 6-3, 6-4 to open play on Rod Laver Arena on Day 2.

A runner-up in Australia in 2020 to Kenin _ who was a first-round loser on Monday _ Muguruza said she's always extra cautious early in a big tournament.
