    Former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez has survived a first-set scare against Czech Sara Bejlek before booking a spot in the second round of the Australian Open on day one at Melbourne Park

    Former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez has survived a first-set scare against Czech Sara Bejlek before booking a spot in the second round of the Australian Open on day one at Melbourne Park


    The 32nd seed from Canada held her nerve in a first-set tiebreak and went on to win 7-6 6-2 in a match lasting one hour and 33 minutes on John Cain Arena.

    It was only Fernandez's second victory in what is her fifth Australian Open campaign.

    Last year's finalists Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka headline the night session.
