Canada coach Jesse Marsch watches as his players make their mark at new clubs
Article content Thanks to star striker Jonathan David's recent move to Juventus, Canada coach Jesse Marsch draws more attention these days when he leaves his Italian home. Article content 'Being here in Italy, the way I describe it is everyone kind of has their local team and then if you don't like your local team or if you don't have one, then your team is Juventus,' Marsch said in an interview. 'Even here in my little town at the cafe, I get a lot of questions. I didn't even know half of them knew I was a football coach. Article content Article content 'As soon as I show up for a coffee or some dinner, they're like 'Tell us about Jonathan David?' But he won't disappoint. He's going to do great.' Article content Article content The two exchanged texts after David, who joined the Italian giant last month on a five-year deal from France's Lille, opened his scoring account with a spectacular acrobatic volley. David is one several Canadian players finding their feet with a new team, with perhaps more moves to come before the summer transfer window closes. Article content 'The fact that a lot of them have hit the ground running (with their new teams) is a very positive thing for us,' said Marsch. Article content Ismael Kone is also in Italy, on loan to newly promoted Sassuolo from France's Marseille, while fellow midfielder Nathan Saliba has opened his account with Belgium's Anderlecht. Article content Marsch believes the move to Italy will help Kone. Article content 'He'll play. And I think because they're a lower team, every game is going to be a fight. They're going to have to be very defensively disciplined, not let games get too wide open. And that's perfect for Ismael and his overall development. Article content Article content 'And then Ismael can be a little bit of a difference-maker on the team with the kinds of plays he can make on the ball and the kind of creativity he cam play with. If he can get the balance of those two aspects of his game right, I think he can help that team be successful and he can be a really good player here in Serie A.' Article content Defender Luc de Fougerolles (on loan to Belgium's F.C.V. Dender from England's Fulham) and midfielder Mathieu Choiniere (on loan to Los Angeles FC from Switzerland's Grasshopper Club Zurich) have also switched teams. Article content With playing time at Spain's Mallorca seemingly drying up, forward Cyle Larin may be changing clubs. And Minnesota United forward Tani Oluwayesi has been linked to Spain's Villarreal. Article content Midfielders Stephen Eustaquio (currently with Portugal's FC Porto) and Niko Sigur (Croatia's Hajduk Split) and defender Derek Cornelius (Marseille) could also make moves, Marsch said.

Canadians Brace, Zhao advance to second round of women's qualifying at U.S. Open
NEW YORK – Canadian tennis player Cadence Brace moved a step closer to her first Grand Slam main draw berth with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Japan's Nao Hibino in U.S. Open qualifying Tuesday. Brace was one of two Canadians to move on to the second round of women's qualifying, along with veteran Carol Zhao, who defeated 15th seed Maria Lourdes Carlé of Argentina 7-6 (8), 6-2. The 20-year-old Brace, from Toronto, converted six of seven break-point chances to win her Grand Slam qualifying debut in a match where both players struggled to hold serve.

Brace will next face 32nd-seed Veronika Erjavec of Slovenia in the second round of the women's qualifying tournament. The winner of that match will take on either Claire Liu of the United States or Australia's Maddison Inglis for a spot in the main draw. The 30-year-old Zhao from Richmond Hill, Ont., scored her sixth break in the final game of the match to upset Carlé as she continues to push for her second Grand Slam berth after qualifying for Wimbledon in 2023. Zhao will next face the winner of a match between Italy's Lucrezia Stefanini and Vitalia Diatchenko of Russia. Earlier, Belgium's Hanne Vandewinkel defeated Marina Stakusic of Mississauga, Ont., 6-3, 6-2, while in men's action, France's Kyrian Jacquet beat seventh seed Liam Draxl of Newmarket, Ont., 7-5, 6-2.
