Episode 35 - Marina Stakusic

She's just 18 years of age and has already cracked the top 300 of the rankings. Canadian Marina Stakusic joins Match Point Canada to discuss her great results after enjoying a breakout stretch of play through the late summer and fall. Stakusic won two consecutive titles in September and was deservedly named the ITF player of the month. She was also named to Canada's Billie Jean King Cup Finals roster for the first time in her career. We get set for the local Tevlin Challenger this week from Sobey's Stadium in Toronto, as a number of Canadians including Stakusic prepare for the 60K event. Leylah Fernandez also continued her strong stretch of tennis in Asia, pushing her winning streak to eight. Meantime, American Ben Shelton continues to make big noise. The 21-year-old secured his first career ATP title, winning in Tokyo, while Felix Auger-Aliassime notched a pair of wins, and Basel is now set to begin.
