–
MIAMI, Fla. – Tuesday and Wednesday were great days for the Canadian women’s side.
Thursday brings top-shelf stadium assignments – against top-shelf Americans Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula.
That’s a step up for Rebecca Marino and qualifier Katherine Sebov.
It was a bit of a steep step, in the end.
