Canada’s Fernandez, Indonesia’s Tjen ousted in second round of doubles at U.S. Open

New Zealand's Erin Routliffe and Indonesia's Aldila Sutjiadi defeated Canada's Leylah Fernandez and Indonesia's Janice Tjen 6-4, 6-4 in the second-round women's doubles match at the U.S. Open on Saturday. Fernandez and Tjen, the ninth seeds, committed six double faults and only turned one of their six break-point chances into a point.

Conversely, Routliffe and Sutjiadi made two double faults but broke on three of their five break-point opportunities. This was not Fernandez's only exit from the tournament - she also lost in the third-round women's singles match on Friday to third-seeded American Jessica Pegula. Canada is now without any players in the Grand Slam event.
