(Reuters) -Leylah Fernandez earned the biggest win of her career as she beat Anna Kalinskaya 6-1 6-2 in the Washington Open final on Sunday. After a brief rain delay in the nation's capital, Fernandez - who was just one game away from defeat in the semi-finals - overcame the extreme humidity to capture her first WTA 500 title in her first final in over a year.

The top-ranked Canadian crashed out of the National Bank Open’s first round with a lopsided 6-4, 6-1 loss to Australia’s Maya Joint on Tuesday afternoon, two days after hoisting her fourth WTA crown at the D.C. Open.
