CanCon at Wimbledon

LONDON

It's the second week of competition at the All-England Club, and as usual, there aren't many Canadians left.

Daniel Nestor and his doubles partner, Nenad Zimonjic, are the second seeded team in men's doubles and have a match coming up later today against Brits Jonathan Murray and Jamie Delgado. Nestor and Zimonjic are the defending champions.

Aleksandra Wozniak, despite being seeded 23rd in women's singles, lost on the first day, and then was beaten in women's doubles by the Williams sisters.

Otherwise, all that's left are two intriguing Canadian girls in the junior singles, and they're in tough today. Eugenie Bouchard, 15, of Westmount, Quebec must play top-seeded Kristina Mladenovic of France, while Richmound Hill's Katarena Paliivets, 17, faces the tournament's second seed, Britain's Laura Robson.

The Spin on Sports by Damien Cox

Damien Cox, the Star's hockey columnist and associate sports editor, takes turns stirring up trouble and chuckling at the foibles of the sporting world. He'll start with hockey, Canada's ongoing passion play, and stick his nose into a few other games and places where athletes reside. You'll love some of his thoughts, hate others and get a chance to give your two cents on all of them.
