Fernandez wins final nine games in Singapore to claim sixth career title

Leylah Fernandez returned to the winner's circle for the first time in 2026, winning the final nine games in a 7-5, 6-0 victory over first-time WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz finalist Talia Gibson on Sunday to claim the Singapore Tennis Open. Fernandez secured the title in 1 hour and 38 minutes.

The title is the sixth of Fernandez's career and her second WTA 500 title.

It was a dominant week for the Canadian, who dropped just one set en route to the trophy. Fernandez defeated Roland Garros champion and top-seeded Mirra Andreeva in straight sets in the quarterfinals, then rallied from a set down to beat Roland Garros runner-up Maja Chwalinska in the semis before dispatching Gibson in the final.
