Bouchard is lucky Sharapova went out, though maybe Eugenie takes care of her this time. Eugenie looks amazing at Wimbledon. I watched all her matches at the French Open and could see her potential to win it all but wasn't expecting her to get even better by her next tournament!

I think she's somewhat likely to win it :D

Raonic? Hoping for the best but I believe Federer is up next? So not a cake walk. Can't wait for that match tomorrow.

Yeah nice to see...Having 2 Canadians competing for titles year in and year out will be a treat...I used to love watching tennis during the Jimmy Connors,John Mcenroe,Chris Everett era...I just needed a reason to come back to the sport.

Next we need a top 10 Canadian golfer to watch!

So hot, mayn.

Anyway, we are indeed in a golden age for Canadian tennis. Good luck to Milos tomorrow and good luck to Genie in the finals.

It shows she gains 1400 points for the finals but then it shows 2000 for winning. Does that mean she gets another 2000 or 600 more from the 1400 for the finals? 2000 would place her 4th and 600 moves her past Sharapova into 6th

5160 is under next points and max points so yeah, if she wins she gets the 700* points and moves into the 6th spot over Sharapova (at least that's what I got from it).

Raonic also landed himself in the 6th spot and has a chance to pass Berdych at 5 if he wins the tourney (which would be an amazing accomplishment).

Said it last year when her name became more public - the parity in the woman's game right now means that if there is a Canadian who is going to win a major, it'll be Genie first and not Milos, who I still doubt will ever win a major.

As someone who has visited Wimbledon a number of times, I'm thrilled that she's experiencing magic on center court. Saturday should be fun. Still think Genie is a HEAVY underdog heading into that (despite the nuts at ESPN telling you differently).

2000 for the win.
1300 if she loses.

keep in mind you have to take off her points she earned from Wimbledon last year.

edit: 1300 if she loses

She isnt a "Heavy" underdog.

The betting line was just posted and Kvitova is slightly favored.

She's from MTL and they talk about her all the time. No relation to the Leafs.
