3 Canadians at the Sony Ericsson Open

We will have 3 Canadians playing at Tier I this week and it's not at the Rogers Cup but at the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscane. Aleksandra Wozniak is the only one of the three girls who will get directly to the main draw as she was awarded a WC by the organizers of the tourney. Stephanie Dubois has a tough begining of season but she keeps her positive attitude, the game is there in training sessions but she seems to be scared doing the same thing during matches and it cost her big points but let's hope this week she'll get through qualies and play tennis like we know she can do it. The last and third Canadian to be in the qualies is Marie-Ève Pelletier, I'm so happy for her, I hope she will get a good draw and finally come back of that 2 years slump since she was injured. Marie had to get through pre-qualifications to get a WCQ to get to that qualie draw. In the final round of the pre-qualies Mara overcame Urzsula Radwanska in two sets of 6/3 7/5, I cross my fingers and hope Mara gets the best draw she can and finally gets some decent results and it boosts her confidence and that she comebacks the player she really is :D.
