Tom Tebbutt on Peter Polansky

Tom Tebbutt is one of the most respected tennis journalists in the world and he's Canadian, which, when you think about it, is a pity for him. Quick, name the best Canadian male and female player of the Open Era. And no, Greg Rusedski doesn't count.
Despite the global nature of the sport, it's always a treat to write about someone from your own country capturing titles. Tebbutt hasn't had that pleasure.

But with two Grand Slam junior finalists this year, Philip Bester at the French and Peter Polansky in New York, things are looking up for Canadian men's tennis at least.

This article on Peter Polansky covers most of the same territory that was contained in my reports last week, with the added info that Polansky will probably sign with a agency soon. I know that once he defeated Klizan in the second round, there were plenty of agents watching Polansky's every move.
