Stat of the Day: Leylah Fernandez has now won 16 of her last 20 matches

Leylah Fernandez broke early in the third set and held the rest of the way to defeat Shelby Roges in the third round of Indian Wells on Monday night, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, avenging a defeat to the American in the fourth round of the same event last year.

And with the win, the Canadian teenager has now won 16 of her last 20 matches, a stretch that begins with her run to the US Open final last year.

She’s also won 15 of her last 17 matches in North America.
