Leylah Fernandez opens up about dating as an athlete, reveals why she wants to keep her relationship private
During the Mubadala Citi DC Open earlier this year, Leylah Fernandez opened up about the challenges of dating as an athlete. She revealed that she had never really had the time for a relationship. Later on, the tennis star shared that after her revelation, several other athletes exchanged similar stories with her, telling Tennis.com,
"I got responses from other athletes, including ones I went to the Olympics with, and they told me, I know how you feel or, 'When I was 22, I hadn't gone on a date yet, either. At this age, we're all either studying or going to sports competitions, so reading those messages not only makes me feel better and like I'm not the odd one out, but it's also pretty cool that we're able to have those conversations together.”
Fernandez went on to add that when she does get into a relationship, she'd like to keep the details private in order for her partner, saying,
"I want to keep that part private and I want to keep it fair for the person with me.”
