MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Three Canadian women were up on the first day of the Wimbledon ladies qualifying at Roehampton.

By the end of the day, one remained. Rebecca Marino and Carol Zhao lost in three while Marina Stakusic made a succesful Wimbledon qualifying debut.

Among the interesting players looking for a stroke of career luck were former top-10 Kristina Mladenovic (didn’t happen), former top-20 Amanda Anisimova (who’s already ditched her coach this year, but was a winner), and some veterans in on protected rankings: Vitalia Diatchenko (out) and Zarina Diyas (in).

The Aussies went 7-3 on the day. Not bad.
