Is young Emma a UK citizen yet? If so, she's yours and you're stuck with her however she performs. Since she was born in Toronto, she was already a subject of Her Maj when she arrived, although the Canadian passport doesn't say so any more.

I have been following the adventures of "our" Leylah Fernandez in the same tournament. Born in Montreal of Ecuadoran refugee parents and currently a resident of Boynton Beach, Florida, she is a typical successful Canadian. Her Dad is all over the papers being over the moon.

Incidentally, these two young athletes are working out yet another phase of the age-old Montreal v Toronto rivalry that formed eastern Canada as we know it.
