–

Technically, the BNP Paribas Open began last week.

But because of the backloaded nature of the 10-day event, most of the Canadians in the tournament are still alive as it spills over to the second week.

Meanwhile, the rest of the tennis ecosystem turned the corner on one week, and on to the next.
