While it might seem like Canada has arrived as a tennis power with shocking speed, thanks to the wild rise of three remarkable teenagers, it has been building for a while
A little more than three years ago at the sprawling U.S. National Tennis Center in New York, a long-time tennis writer for a big American publication stood up from his desk and said he was going to watch a young teen phenom play.
That scene in Flushing Meadow is worth mentioning because while it might seem like Canada has arrived on the world stage as a tennis power with shocking speed, thanks to the wild rise of three remarkable teenagers, this country’s promise has been building for a while now.
Andreescu was outside the top 200 in the WTA rankings a year ago, but she closed the 2018 season strong and carried that into this winter, rising into the top 25 after her win in California. Auger-Aliassime was ranked 178th on the ATP Tour a year ago — and 378th just two years ago — but will be inside the top 35 after Miami, which followed a finals berth in Brazil this month.
