Eugenie Bouchard has looked great in the Aussie Open and looks in great shape. She appears focused, determined & extremely confident. She looks powerful & has dominated her opponents. It wouldn't surprise me to see her get to the finals.
Milos Raonic is also having a great tournament so far. Like Bouchard, he looks to be in great shape. He's focused, determined & appears extremely confident. His great serve is as accurate & powerful as ever, and he's improved on his footwork & returns. He's also dominated his opponents so far & like Bouchard, it wouldn't surprise me to see him get to the finals if he can get past Djokovic.
I must confess that i never imagined in my entire life that i'd ever see the day where any Canadian would ever compete for a major title in tennis. Last year, Bouchard made it to the Wimbledon final and had a great year, just like Raonic. However, it may be a bit more difficult for Raonic to reach a final this year due to the great competition among the men.
However, i'm starting to believe. Indeed, i'm starting to believe that for the first time ever, we may see a Canadian male & female tennis player competing in a Slam finals for the first time ever. And who knows.....it may only be a matter of time before one of them wins a Slam championship.
This is a great time to be a tennis fan for a Canadian! Go Genie, Go Milos! :thumb:
p.s. Is it just me, or has Stan Wawrinka got fat this year?? I watched part of his match yesterday & he reminded me of the Pillsbury doughboy!
