Thank you for sharing this brilliant thought and reminding me to place you on ignore.
Why don't you tell me how you really feel....you think that trans athletes cannot take over the women's sports and terminate the age of women athletes in tennis?
Here is the rest of the quote which you left out,
"That would be a distinctly Canadian contribution to progressive left-wing change in sports. Thank you PM, another dazzling idea."

Damien Cox: Bianca Andreescu is back at the top of her game. The Miami Open final could be something special
After surviving a late-night marathon semifinal with trademark feistiness and resilience, Andreescu will face rested world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty in Saturday’s final — the Canadian’s first since winning the 2019 U.S. Open, Damien Cox writes.

The European clay season is off to a slow start this year.

I still think Raonic over Bianca. She needs a longer career, imo.

Rusedski basically switched to GBR so he could get more fan support. I was there that summer he broke through at Wimbledon. The British were so excited to have anyone who could get past the second round at Wimbledon.

The typical fan cares not one iota about that so yeah. You think anyone in Russia cheers less for any of the -ovas because they live in Florida?
Rusedski, according to one well-known Canadian former player, indicated after leaving to Britain that he would have stayed in Canada if Tennis Canada had offered more support.

There is that too. the LTA was so desperate for a decent player they would have forged papers if need be. but if he had stayed with Canada he would have just been another player. But by becoming the British number 1 he earned a bit of cachet. And that’s worth more than a title.

I seem to remember him and his wife (IQ of a flip flop) struggled to know what a musket was?

To be fair. The whole family seemed fairly dim and vacuous. That said Why on earth would such a term come up in the tour?
No one can top Jeff Tarangos wife who slapped an umpire and accused him of being corrupt. It’s like thanks honey. I’ll take care of my own work problems.

Milos Raonic. He has won 8 titles, played 1 GS final and 4 masters finals.

Finals are not wins. Bedard won 17 titles, all on clay, and beat tough opponents.

She's ours now
But Andreescu is Rumanian, right? Some logic.
Here is another Canadian victor at Wimbledon.

I was joking....don't worry.
I knew that you had to be joking.
For some years, I lived in the same city as the Great One & Family, and had some contact and dealings with those good folks.
We belonged to the same country club, although we never teed off together. Had many mutual acquaintances.
I almost arranged for a musical event with them and our symphony orchestra, but somehow despite all the excitement, it did not quite happen.
The Great One's son-in-law, Dustin Johnson, won the Canadian Open a few blocks from here, at the same golf course where yours truly was hitched a few years back.
The Great One provided Johnson with personal coaching on each hole, free of charge.

I see Felix is making a strong push to be a contender in this thread. Allez, Felix!
Big wins today for both Felix and Denis. Two Canadian men in the singles quarterfinal, never happened before.
These two young men look especially at their best at Wimbledon.

Rusedski was in some ways ahead of his time. I just watched a Canadian born Romanian Chinese woman who grew up in London play against a Croatian-Australian who trained as a teen in Florida.

Looking at the draw I’d say they both have an excellent chance to make the semis. Wouldn’t that be something? Two Canadians in the Wimbledon semis?
Here is the ATP review of today's Canadian men performance in historical perspective.
"Auger-Aliassime is the fifth Canadian to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals, following in the footsteps of Robert Powell (1908, 1910, 1912), former finalist Milos Raonic (2014, 2016-18), Vasek Pospisil (2015) and 10th seed Denis Shapovalov, who earlier on Monday defeated eighth-seeded Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut 6-1, 6-3, 7-5."

And Greg Rusedski reached the quarterfinals in 1997. So that is now six Canadians to do that.

So had Raonic managed to do it in 2015 as well this would have already happened.
Nonetheless I am not a betting man nor Canadian but if I was I might be inclined to bet that we see two Canadian men in the semis.
