Canadian women are not really a force to reckon with in today's women's tennis, but when I saw how Rebecca Marino handled Venus Williams in the second round of this year's US Open, I knew, Canada had a star in the making, if she just gets the right breaks. She was fearless in that game, and with a little more experience, would've been able to upset the vastly more experienced Venus.
Currently ranked #104, she should be able to make it into the main draw of the upcoming Australian Open, and hopefully get a merciful draw. I'm sure she can break into the Top 100 way before the French Open.
