Leylah Fernandez was unable to hold back tears following her Pan Pacific Open final loss to Diana Shnaider as she paid tribute to a recently deceased family member. Shnaider looked to be cruising to her first title of the season on Sunday after going 6-4, 4-0 up against Fernandez in the WTA 500 event. However, the Canadian mounted a stunning comeback, winning the second set 7-5. But, the Russian regained her composure and closed out a 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 victory in two hours and 18 minutes.
