Rebecca Marino (WTA 220) has left professional tennis twice. She had a lot of health problems, she fought depression. She hasn’t played in nearly five years since 2013. He had a big day in Montreal. The Canadian beat Madison Keys 6:3, 6:3 (WTA 26). There was one break in the first set, which the hosts representative scored at 3:1. In the second game, she came back from 0:2.

Within 66 minutes, Marino sent four aces and scored 27 of 37 points with her first pass. She saved four out of five break points, and had four out of eight break break opportunities. For the Canadians, this is the third victory over the top 30 tennis players and the first since 2011, when she dealt in Luxembourg with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the world’s 15th racket at the time.

At this year’s Australian Open, Marino reached the second round as a qualifier. This was her first Grand Slam performance since the 2013 Melbourne event. The Canadian has in the past been ranked 38th in the standings. It can boast of one final match in the main series (Memphis 2011). Her next competitor will be Spaniard Paul Bados.
