- Ice rinks are the traditional breeding ground for Canada’s sporting heroes, not tennis courts, but times are changing.
That youthful trio, inspired by the feats of trailblazers Milos Raonic and Eugenie Bouchard, are doing their best to knock hockey, almost a religion in Canada, off the back pages. Andreescu, the 18-year-old with Romanian parents, trumped both her compatriots by winning the Indian Wells title as a wildcard, stunning Angelique Kerber in the final.
“She’ll be top 100 before long,” team mate Rebecca Marino, one of the nations earlier tennis pioneers, told Reuters. Tennis Canada invested heavily in facilities, opening a National Centre in Montreal in 2007 and hired renowned coach Louis Borfiga, the man responsible for a production line of French talent including Gael Monfils and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, to oversee its High Performance Program.Then there was the knock-on effect of Montenegro-born Raonic and Bouchard both acting as trailblazers by reaching Wimbledon finals in 2014 and 2016 respectively.
