How did Leylah Fernandez advance to the Round of 16?

Fernandez's road to the Round of 16 has been an interesting one. 

After a bye in the Round of 128, she squared off against rising American Amanda Anisimova in the Round of 64. Fernandez lost the first set but bounced back with a 7-6 win in set two. However, Anisimova quit after the second set, saying after the match that she felt ill and could not continue.
