Canadian tennis star Leylah Fernandez pulled off her latest act of celebrity on Monday night, attending the annual Met Gala in New York City.
Just two days after appearing in an epic US Open final against Britain’s Emma Radacanu, Fernandez attended her first Met Gala at NYC’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
