Canadians are doing well on the tennis tours while another Canadian Youtube sensation is found and gets a call from a pop prince

Rebecca Marino got all the way to the final in the WTA tournament in Memphis against Magdalena Rybarikova and the resident of Montreal Quebec who is originally from Vancouver BC ended up having to retire after the first set which she struggled through the set and had a hard time to be able to finish off points and it turned that she was playing with abdominal injury coming into the match. The 81 ranking of Rebecca Marino will be much better starting Monday and probably moving very close to the top 50 and at 20 years old made her first WTA final and hopefully has very bright future ahead of her. While Milos Raonic has been tearing the cover off the ball with serves of over 140 miles per hour and has been winning against all comers in the last 2 weeks winning every match in San Jose to win the tittle and then has won every match going into Sundays final against his stiffest test as he faces Andy Roddick a true top 10 player in the world and also has a pretty fast serve himself. Even if Milos loses to Roddick he will still be the highest ranked men tennis player of all time with being ranked 33Rd in the world as of Mondays rankings and just like Marino he to is only 20 years old and has really shown the tennis world what he is made of in the first month and a half of 2011 as he has been in quarterfinals in 4 tournaments so far this year so he is really exciting to watch and Sundays match will be fun especially as you can get under Roddick's skin and really get him off his game.

Canadian singing sensation 10-year-old Maria Aragon of Winnipeg Manitoba got the surprise of a live time when a Toronto Radio station brought her on air to sing and instead had set up a over the phone meet and great with Lady Gaga who one of the singers that Maria has sung a song of on youtube and the radio is now bring Maria to Toronto for Lady Gaga's concert in Toronto on March 4. Then Lady Gaga said that Maria should come on stage with her and sing the song with her and I believe whoever came up with the idea of having Lady Gaga phone in is a brilliant as it was a great setup and Maria will probably signed to Lady Gaga's label very soon. So Maria will need to be given right the handlers because she may be on her way for the ride of a lifetime and during an interview in Winnipeg she had said she would like to be on Ellen show which I can imagine will be happening within the next couple of weeks but at least in the next month and with Gaga by her side Maria will be every very very soon.

Good night
