Alabama and made it to two finals last
summer in Spain and France.
Vernon's Vasek Pospisil, at No. 2 spot in BC and
No. 5 in Canada, made news when teamed up with Milos Raonic, the top Canadian, to shock the world's top two players, Spain's Rafael Nadal and Serbian Novak Djokovic, in
the Toronto
Masters, 5-7, 6-3, 10-8.

dropped to No. 4 this year.
A new addition to the Top 10 players in BC
