She'd probably get into Canada.

Let us hope they don't start rolling her out like Michaela McCollum.

Sure she has Canadian citizenship by birth, but appears she spent very little of her life in Canada, so for all we know she has no attachment to Canada just happened to be born here and gained citizenship.

That's what I also don't get its the first thing the trollers will launch into before any praise in the manner in which she won ??

From the depths of despair from Last June to what she did last weekend is unheard of.. improbable/impossible, definitely a fairy tale win. Bromley bird through and through :P

Depths of despair? As noted above, she had a career best run. She'd had a year off so winning any matches would have been pleasing. No reason for despair there.
