Things Looking Up for Canadian Tennis
Things Looking Up for Canadian Tennis 
The good news for Canada continues, with two of the northern nation’s juniors winning the Wimbledon girls and boys crowns. A day after Eugenie Bouchard won the girls’ singles with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Elina Svitolina of Ukraine, Filip Peliwo followed suit by winning the boys’ singles crown by taking out No. 1 Luke Seville of Australia 7-5, 6-4.
With Milos Raonic also having become a top 30 player on the ATP Tour, things are looking up.
Former Wimbledon finalist Nathalie Tauziat of France, who reached No. 3 in the ranking in 1998, coaches Bouchard. “She likes it. Eugenie likes to play in front of people, on the big court. To go play a first round, with no one in the stands, it ticks her off,” Tauziat told the Montreal Gazette.
Bouchard later joked: “She got to the finals of Wimbledon, so I can say, ‘I did better than you, I won.’ She doesn’t like that.”
Peliwo avenged his loss to Saville in the final of the Australian Open earlier this year and became the first Canadian boy to win a Grand Slam singles title.
Bouchard completed girls’ trophy sweep alongside American Taylor Townsend. They bested Belinda Bencic/Ana Konjuh 6-4, 6-3.
