She plays to win! She takes all her time and space, she shows us how. And then she advocates for others.

Héroïne locale

Marino n’a peut-être pas été aussi dominante que Fernandez, mais elle n’en a pas moins été impressionnante.

Marino loses the second set in a tiebreaker and they're going to a third set…

This is a really good match.

Feels like Marino can win it and take over with her power but it's been fading from late in the 2nd set. #BJKCup

Rebecca Marino with a gutsy 3-set win in Canada's second match: 6-3, 6-7, 6-3.

"I was nervous playing at home to be honest," she said on court after the match. #BJKCup pic.twitter.com/WUc63aVlIC
