UNCOVERED: Fernandez rakhimova advance in australian open - Caught on Camera

Former teen sensation Leylah Fernandez joked that she was feeling her age after surviving a first-set scare against Czech Sara Bejlek to book a spot in the second round of the Australian Open.

The 21-year-old Canadian held her nerve in a first-set tiebreak on Sunday and went on to beat her 17-year-old opponent 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 on John Cain Arena.

It was only Fernandez's second win at the Australian Open, in this her fifth appearance at the tournament.
