Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Three Canadians are in action on the third day of Wimbledon qualifying, which features the second round.

Once again, Alexis Galarneau got the big show court for his match, which was against the veteran Richard Gasquet (he got to play on a packed Court Suzanne-Lenglen during qualifying at Roland Garros, where he met Frenchman Quentin Halys). He got a bit of a grass-court lesson, though.

Gabriel Diallo go the No. 8 seed, Colombian Daniel Elahi Galan. Who has some surprising results on the grass, and beat the Canadian in two close sets.

On the women’s side, Marina Stakusic made it, while Rebecca Marino and Carol Zhao were beaten in three sets on Tuesday.

And Stakusic is the only Canuck to be in the final round after a great comeback win on Wednesday.
