Fernandez Reaches Consecutive Finals for First Time in Career
Leylah Fernandez moved into the final in Tokyo after defeating Kamilla Rakhimova in straight sets, 7-5, 6-3. She trailed by a break in both sets before fighting back to seal the victory.
This is the first time in her career that she has reached finals in consecutive weeks, following her run to the title match in Ningbo last week. She also benefited from Elena Rybakina's withdrawal in the quarterfinals earlier this week.
The 24-year-old had struggled to win multiple matches on surfaces other than clay until August. However, she has since reached three finals, alongside a fourth-round appearance in Toronto and third-round runs at the US Open and Wuhan. These results have confirmed her return to the top 20 in the rankings.
Fernandez has a 6-4 career record in tour-level finals, including a 3-1 record in Asian finals.

Shnaider Ends Semifinal Losing Streak to Reach Tokyo Final
Diana Shnaider booked her place in the final after defeating Mia Pohankova in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6. She also trailed by a break in the opening set and faced a set point in the tiebreak before closing out the match.
With this victory, Shnaider snapped her five-match losing streak in tour-level semifinals to reach her first final since Monterrey last year. She will now look to make the most of this opportunity by claiming the title.
The Russian has enjoyed a solid season, apart from a disappointing stretch between Doha and Rome, during which she won only seven matches across eight events, and a 1-3 grass-court campaign. She has otherwise produced consistent results throughout the year, including a semifinal appearance at the French Open and quarterfinal runs in Toronto and Wuhan.
Shnaider has a 5-1 career record in tour-level finals. Her only defeat came in Ningbo in 2023, which was also her maiden tour-level final.
