LONDON (AP) — Vicky Mboko, Janice Tjen, Lilli Tagger, Arnaud Bailly and Luka Mikrut were selected by a panel as the International Tennis Federation's Class of 2025, a group considered “promising and breakthrough” talents of the sport.

The five players were revealed this week, based on their seasons on the ITF World Tennis Tour.

Mboko, a 19-year-old Canadian, won four consecutive ITF World Tennis Tour titles early in the year and went on to win a WTA 1000 tournament in Montreal and reach the third round at the French Open.

Tjen, 23, claimed five ITF World Tennis Tour titles in a row, including a 27-match winning streak, and at the U.S. Open became the first Indonesian player to compete in a Grand Slam main draw since 2004, defeating No. 24 seed Veronika Kudermetova. Tjen collected her first WTA Tour trophy in November.

PUVIRNITUQ - Doctors and nurses in Quebec's Nunavik region say constant water shortages are a factor that is pushing some colleagues to leave, in a region where retention of staff has long been an issue.

In the Far North, health workers can choose between working with the Cree of James Bay or the Inuit of Hudson Bay, according to Raphaëlle Carpentier, a nurse with the Inukjuak health clinic, or CLSC. 

Many of them choose the former, "to have access to a certain comfort, meaning running water and cell service," she said.

Her colleague, Raphaelle Durand, questions her own tolerance for the environment. "It's not for everyone, not at all," she said. "And even when you like it -- I love the community, I love the role I play here -- there are irritants like water where I ask myself: in 20 years will I still be able to deal with that? Surely not."
