It was a night to remember for Canada as 19-year-old Leylah Fernandez and Felix Auger-Aliassime, 21, reached their maiden Slam semifinals at the U.S. Open here on Wednesday. The 19-year-old Fernandez, who had ousted defending champion Naomi Osaka and three-time Slam winner Angelique Kerber, delivered another stunner to defeat Ukrainian fifth-seed Elina Svitolina 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(5). Fernandez booked a last-four matchup against second seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, who beat Czech eighth seed and reigning French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova 6-1, 6-4.
