Mr. Fernandez....your daughter touched all of us with her competiveness, strength and kindness in addressing 911. I am a New Yorker who just was amazed at her maturity and sensitivity. You should be so proud of what she accomplished and what she will accomplish. A great tennis player and wonderful person.
Beautiful and sincere words. Leylah is lucky to have a father and coach who supports her 100%. I'm still in shock of what a fighter she turn out to be. Vamos Leylah I'll be cheering for you.
Wow. Perfectly said. Avoided political opinion with such brilliance straight from the heart. THIS mans words and leadership is a big reason why LeyLah is where she’s at. I personally come from a life without a dad and I would have killed to have a father figure like him.
I wonder how the people now feel about leyha ìn the us open finals as they said she will never be a tennis player hope they can now eate their heart out that poor girl how they made her feel
Canada loves you Jorge, and congratulations for raising such a fantastic and future Grand Slam champion Leylah. This man and his family represent the immigrant story at it's core. You or your parents immigrate to a new country, take advantage of the opportunities it offers, and you in-turn become a success story for both yourself and your new/adopted country.
I am a proud Canadian, I am from Toronto, I am latino just like Jorge and Leylah, Canada is home and I am so grateful with this country. Toronto is diversity and an example to the world. I cried watching this. 🇨🇦
Proud immigrant Canadian right here. My son was born here in Edmonton. He is Canadian and we will raise him to be mindful of his roots but give his all for Canada, his motherland.
I doesnt have any problem with any immigrats(m specifically talking about muslims) but when they grow up in numbers they starts asking for sharia and islamic rules for them they even start asking for personal muslims laws thats where the problem lies. Thats exactly what is happening in uk. I can see a very dark future of uk. Its my humble request when u came to a secular country plz keep ur religion inside ur homes. I have a problem when people starts performing namaz on the roads this is bullshit man. Use ur home ur mosques for this
@@agnosticatheist1620 Immigration is great while is kept gradually. Immigrants when in small numbers (from ANY nation to ANY nation) tend to adapt and assimilate to the receiving culture, when the opposite happens when immigration is uncontrolled.
@@agnosticatheist1620 this I agree with to a certain extent this needs to be taught but unfortunately there is no consensus, besides praying anywhere is part of practicing the religion itself which falls well within the boundaries of secularism. I totally understand where you are coming from, religion is a deeply personal thing which one can keep to his or herself, my opinion. Sorry if I offended anyone.
She’s in!!!!! And what a heart warming interview with her coach, her mentor, her father. Then after you have 8 people give it a thumbs down? If you’re not a troll, I dare you to explain this. I dare you. What a beautiful surprise Leylah has been. Completely authentic, humble, transparent and Canadian!! She makes me proud to live in this country. Vamos Leylah!!! Show ‘em what’cha got!
Brian. Good observation. But, you can't fix stupid. 8 thumbs down and over thousand up. That's encouraging ratio though. Shame on people who who don't appreciate Canada and opportunity here. I honestly feel sorry for them. Fernandez family is an asset and thank you Jorge for coming here.
Perhaps people disagree he should be so thankful, because the family had to move to Florida (where there are free tennis programs for kids), because they didn't have resources to pay for ultra expensive Canadian tennis facilities.
@@kipwonder2233 Get professional help. I am not saying that with sarcasm, or in demeaning way. I am honestly concerned about safety of people around you.
Very emotional interview. Had me in tears. What a great father ...role model for her. As a fellow Canadian, fellow immigrant to Canada...yes, I too feel grateful to live in such a great country. C'mon Leylah! Pulling for you in the finals!
Thank you Canada for the great opportunies you have offered to the immigrant specially to the Filipinos.There's opportunities to improve the life of people.We should not discriminate each other because we need each other to survive in this life 🙏
actually the familiy had to move to Florida to take advantage of the free tennis programs there, because they couldn't afford the expensie tennis academies in Canada.
Did you all see her smile 😃 right before losing last few points smiling slightly almost like I won’t let the defeat take away the hard work I put in. It just was not my dad by I am here in this big stage. She showed class. Rather then upset she gracefully recognized this is a big moment for her, her coaches, family, role model for her little sister, and for Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you 🙏
I cried the whole time I watched her play and specially this live interview of her dad , I am also an immigrant and very grateful with my adopted country, I ❤ Canada 🇨🇦
Leylah is in the FINALS of the 2021 US Open !!! The sacrifices Jorge and his family have made, is the strength that has manifested tonight! The story is NOT OVER! The final page will be written on Saturday. God Speed.
Jorge is from Ecuador, birthplace of many great tennis players, Pancho Segura, Andres Gomez, Nico Lapentti! Leylah just won her Semis! Unbelievable work donde by Jorge and his team with Leylah. I hope she wins the final, her determination is key, and she plays with happiness on that baseline!
Leylah, Vasek, Milos, Bianca, Denis & Félix are all the kids of immigrants reppin' Canada well on the world stage (and Britain's Emma Raducanu was born in Toronto to immigrant parents as well).
@@stevebloomer7027 I am part Filipino, part Chinese, part Spanish and proud Canadian. It does not get any better than this. I am so happy that Layla Fernandez going to the final but now Emma my other favorite is also going to the final. I am so confused. What am I going to do.
Leylah Annie Fernandez you are an awesome young woman, so well mannered on and off the court ,Always with a big warm smile on your face, to watch you play brings me great Joy . hope that you'll never lose that smile, always stay true to yourself there is nobody else out there who knows or could do it better. Stay positive and your parents are your best friends ..Good luck
So heartfelt from the father about Canada opening its doors to them as immigrants. What great fortune that Canada did open the door to this down to earth, hardworking, sincere family. Just imagine how many people this family is inspiring from watching this magical journey! Keep working on being your BEST self and believe in yourself. Well done to the Fernandez family. You are AMAZING!❤️🩹. 💯. 🇨🇦. 👍
A beautiful story . My family came from the Netherlands, unless your Native your an immigrant. How refreshing to see such an inspiring story and the gratitude shown by this family. Canada is proud to have you and your family.
This argument is so WHITE WOKE....Listen, when the Spanish conquered and enslaved the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas...they weren't "immigrants", LOL ! They were conquistadors ! The English settled in North America and conquered more and more lands from the Indians. I wouldn't call the English "immigrants". When the countries of Canada and US were created, incoming settlers from other lands that came.....NOW THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL REAL IMMIGRANTS !
@@boke75 didn’t Canada only become Canada in 1983? Barely started as a country. Also wasn’t borne out of a revolution. Pretty young and still gaining its identity. Stay humble and loving.
I am part Filipino, part Chinese, part Spanish and proud Canadian. It does not get any better than this. I am so happy that Layla Fernandez going to the final but now Emma my other favorite is also going to the final. I am so confused. What am I going to do.
Laylahs family is really wonderful and she is a great example of what children can achive with dedicated parents. Jorge is a father every kid deserves .This immigrant family is shining example of family values. Congrats Team Fernandez and thanks for showing us how its done.
Wow! I felt for Jorge and family hearing these words in this interview. When I hear injustice done to refugees and immigrants all over the world, I tear.
I am his fan now! :) What a beautiful soul he is. I had a lump in my throat. Leylah is the future of tennis because of her Dad and her family. 3 cheers!
@@diviab5 yes it is good to be proud and appreciative and wave the flag but to say we're the best or they're the best or we're better than you really is counterproductive and unnecessary but hey to each his own
@@dubiousdistinction6500 Agree but in this case, it’s a bit too much. It’s a dad being proud of his daughter and grateful for the help he got from Canada and how great they welcomed him and his family. It’s beautiful but come on. There’s great stories from other countries and they don’t claim to be the GREATEST ON EARTH. Please someone stops with that snowflake mentality.
What a beautiful gesture of a proud immigrant and this is Canada!! The most welcoming country to provided many immigrants like us with the opportunity to do our best and taught us seeing the world differently. Its like a global village and we are all proud being here! Lylah makes us even more proud.
Blessings to Leylah and family. Praying all the best to you all. Enjoy ur day. Leylah you are great tennis player. God has great plans to take you places you did not dream off. All the best to you 🙏🇨🇦
Tocayo, Ud merece el respeto de toda Latinoamerica. Indescriptible el logro ya de haber llegado Leylah a la final. Mil Felicitaciones a uds sus padres y el reato de la familia, y a su equipo entrenador. El sabado estaremos apoyandoles desde Mexico.
La vida de todos los inmigrantes es muy dura, a cualquier país se vaya... Pero la inmigraciòn ilegal es lo que se discute. El problema es que a traves de la inmigracion ilegal y sin control muchos criminales entran y salen como perro por su casa. Viva Guayaquil y Barcelona SC!
@acapella Some can speak flawless English, And also speak four more languages. Come io che parlo Italiano, Tedesco, Spagnol e Englese. El quiere dejar un mensaje en Español, cual es el problema?
Thank you, Canada, for accepting immigrants! I am a Filipino immigrant to Germany and am thankful that there are countries who are welcoming people from all over the world. So emtional, that question!
Well done Jorge and family. We are proud of you all. I'll try my Spanish. Bienvenido a Canadá. Muchas Gracias por representar Canadá sobre el escenario del mundo. Si es oro o plata es igual. La lucha en su nuevo país es infranqueable, pero a pesar de esto vosotros sobrevivíais juntos. Buena suerte a Leylah mañana.
Fernandez is really an appreciative immigrant from this interview. We just pray that all immigrants live to appreciate life with a second chance. Remember, Canada opens its doors.... but it is very rare for Americans who were immigrants once upon a time.
Leylah entraste por la puerta ancha, tienes un padre excepcional, sigue entrenando mucho, tienes herramientas para llegar lejos, se te nota que eres fuerte mentalmente, que es una herrramienta básica en este deporte, te veo ganandole a Barty y todo el bonche de las top 10, muchas de ellas pechos frios a la hora de la verdad son vencidas por ellas mismas. Vamos Leylah !!!!
His English and French are really good. He is one of those immigrants that really put all the extra effort to speak the local language and work as hard as possible, not to live off the government.
@Jim Lahey who’s we and who did you win over? … don’t answer that. It’s rhetorical. History bores me but I remember it a series of events and for you to claim the credit hehe you wish.
Apologies for the racist abuse these klan thugs are throwing your way. Apparently, they don’t know that, more than any other variable, a pathogen determined the fate of North America. They also think that tens of thousands of years and 80-300 are roughly the same “immigrant” experience. If I believed in the social construct of “whiteness”, I’d assess it to be a disease plaguing cognitive skills…
Que viva Latino America and Viva the countries like Canada that open their doors for immigrants looking for a better life for their Families!! Leyla You'll have our support this Saturday!; Vamos U can do it!!
It's fine to be grateful, but nobody has given them anything for free. In fact Leylah was dropped from the Quebec tennis program at age 7 and the family had to move to Florida to take advantage of the free tennis facilities down there. Jorge trains Leylah ans works part time and her mother works full time. As I said, they worked hard for it, nobody handed out anything.
If she was playing anyone other than Raducanu I'd want Leylah Fernandez to win it. It's strange how similar their families and backgrounds are and they've been bumping into each other at tournaments since they were 12.
We are all immigrants. We move from place to other, like the birds. However, illegal immigration needs to be controlled or would be chaos, if not see why massive uncontrolled immigration is causing in SouthAmerica because of Venezuelans fleeing a socialist government.
Seeing that man tear up made me so proud to be Canadian.. Thank you Fernandez family for coming to Canada.
Amazing father! Amazing family! Thank you to the Fernandez family for your many contributions past, present and future to our great nation of Canada!
Great interviews by Mark Masters. His silence was just as important to this very powerful 2 minute clip. Love it!!!!
Mr. Fernandez....your daughter touched all of us with her competiveness, strength and kindness in addressing 911. I am a New Yorker who just was amazed at her maturity and sensitivity. You should be so proud of what she accomplished and what she will accomplish. A great tennis player and wonderful person.
The gratitude of this man. 👏 🇨🇦🥰
Beautiful and sincere words. Leylah is lucky to have a father and coach who supports her 100%. I'm still in shock of what a fighter she turn out to be. Vamos Leylah I'll be cheering for you.
This man himself is the biggest inspiration to come out of this U S Open. Much respect sir from Raleigh USA
Wow. Perfectly said. Avoided political opinion with such brilliance straight from the heart. THIS mans words and leadership is a big reason why LeyLah is where she’s at. I personally come from a life without a dad and I would have killed to have a father figure like him.
The political part he's talking about is those that are against immigration in this country. This man is proud to be Canadian.
But does he now believe in his daughter now I hope so and her mother also
@@thenlightn1 I always thought Canada was open to immigration, just like Germany. Did the no-immigrant political party appeared in recent years?
@@marianagaoka9687 Canada is open to immigration, Now mass immigration no, but yes Canada is and always will be open to immigration.
Kudos for Mark Masters for capturing this great moment with this excellent question
As immigrants, we are all appreciative and grateful to be Canadians! Once you are a Canadian, we will always support you! Go Leylah!
👏👏👏👏 Hats off to Mr. Jorge Fernandez. Filipinos love you so much for your endearing qualities . Bravo
Wow! Shockingly humble words. Congratulations Fernandez family, and all of those who believed in Leylah!

Wow. That was powerful.
The story of Canada is immigrants. Immigrants have always wanted to give back. Let's share what we have with as much of the world as possible!
