–
In the second week of Wimbledon, the rest of the tennis world ratchets it back up again.
And notable amongst the Canadians (for lack of many still being alive at Wimbledon) is that Genie Bouchard has shown up on a wild card to play the new WTA 125 on grass at Newport.
From what we understand, it’s a clause in her clothing sponsorship contract that she has to be a tennis player once or twice a year. So this is one.
Also – Vasek Pospisil, who hasn’t played since last November, is in as an alternate in the qualifying at the Winnipeg Challenger this week.
Both are scheduled for desk duty in Toronto for the National Bank Open in three weeks, from what we understand.
