People say the hardest thing to do in sports is hit a major league fastball. Mechanically, technically, that might be true. Mentally? Not falling to pieces in a deciding set of close a grand slam match is it.

But is she tired? Does anyone know if she's tired?

Again..im a tennis fan, but far from a hard core/in-depth guy.
This might be my favorite sports thing since...well.... since the girls won gold in soccer.
But its been years since ive enjoyed anything THIS much for 2 months.
Canadian ladies? You effin rock!

You could hear what this meant to her in the TSN interview. She is a Canadian treasure and we must protect and celebrate her as much as we can

Leylah has pocketed a cool 1.25 million for making the final. She doubles it if she wins the final.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. She is a bit small compared to average tennis players right?

Wow. Canada getting some serious love in this post match interview with ESPN.
Here’s the interview with her dad they referred to. Warning, you may will cry.

I was reading today that her coach (dad) doesn’t have her lift weights like most of the other players.

It doesn't really matter to me, but since the Spartan denied us of an all-Canadian final, I think some payback would be sweet.

What a great representation of Canada. I have become a huge fan.
I’m going for Sakk attack in this one. TBH she kind of won me over in the match with Bianca.
