Tennis fans are always drawn to Leylah Fernandez’s Lululemon kits. She put Lululemon tennis on the map as its original ambassador, joined recently by Americans Ethan Quinn and Frances Tiafoe.
Fernandez is playing singles and doubles at the HSBC Championships this week, and her red-and-white two-toned kit coordinates with the HSBC color scheme and logo.

What to expect from Fernandez the rest of the year
Fernandez hopes to rebound in singles and doubles in the second half of the season. She has a below .500 record in both disciplines and no titles.
In 2025, her greatest successes came on the hardcourts, winning Washington DC’s Citi Open in August and the Japan Women’s Open in October. She also was a semifinalist at the Hong Kong Open in November.
Fernandez also had the exciting run into the US Open women’s doubles quarterfinals with Venus Williams.

Fernandez is becoming overshadowed by Victoria Mboko
Despite Bianca Andreescu’s surge in 2019, Fernandez has been the face of Canadian tennis for years. That role is slowly being overtaken by Victoria Mboko who won the Canada Open last year. She is also Serena Williams‘ doubles partner for her anticipated return to tennis (at the HSBC Championships) after nearly four years away in retirement.
