A central tennis hub was established in Montreal, at the site of the Rogers Cup, to develop the country’s most promising young players. “I’m proud of that, and that’s a reflection of Canada,” said Murumets, the Tennis Canada president. Hérisset, 73, is a coach and former board member of Tennis Canada. He also co-runs the Hérisset Bordeleau Académie de Tennis and was the tournament director of the longstanding WTA event in Quebec City. A tireless advocate for tennis in Quebec, Hérisset is pleased with the progress of Canadian tennis, but he pushes for more.
