Gabriela Dabrowski became the first Canadian woman to win a Grand Slam tennis title Thursday, capturing the mixed doubles crown at the French Open with Indian partner Rohan Bopanna. Three Canadian men have won Grand Slam titles, led by Daniel Nestor with eight in men's doubles and another four in mixed doubles. No Canadian tennis player has ever won a Grand Slam singles tournament. The closest are Milos Raonic, who reached the Wimbledon men's final last year, and Eugenie Bouchard, who played in the women's title match at Wimbledon in 2014. Canadian-born Greg Rusedski made it to the U.S. Open men's final in 1997, but by that time he was representing Great Britain.
