Never in my years on this earth have I ever seen high profile Canadians in the late rounds of a major tennis championship.
Well now Canada has 2 young players that, in coming years, could become amongst the sport's very elite.
Many know of Milos Raonic who is a high profile men's player but he has yet to make it past the fourth round of of a major championship.
He's since been beaten on the ladies side of the draw by 19 year old Eugene Bouchard of Montreal. This weekend she became the first Canadian since the early 90's to make this far in a major championship.

She's had an easy draw but it's realistic that she could make it to the semis.
As someone who's followed tennis for awhile I think this is great news for Canadian Tennis.
Not really a debatable topic, just something I'd tell everyone, who wasn't aware, about.
