Dabrowski becomes first Canadian WTA Grand Slam champion

The women's side of the French Open has been a history making affair. First, Jelena Ostapenko became the first Latvian player to reach the semifinals, and then the final, of a Grand Slam in singles. Now,  Garbiela Dabrowski has become the first Canadian female player to win a major, taking the mixed doubles title with Rohan Bopanna.

“It’s something that you always dream about as a kid. It’s kind of funny, because you never know where the journey is going to take you: singles, doubles, now mixed doubles," Dabrowski said. "I couldn’t be more happy. Yeah, it feels amazing."

While she hasn't reached the same height in singles, Dabrowski is enjoying the doubles experience fully.

"I discovered the last few years, and when I was younger in the juniors, that doubles was a lot more fun," she said. "And now, for me, doubles pays the bills, and gives me a better life."

The 25-year-old pocked $80,000 for her efforts in Paris. She is ranked No. 20 in doubles, and No. 281 in singles.
