–

It’s not nearly as dense a Canucks week as it was supposed to be.

Félix Auger-Aliassime pulled out of Antwerp. And then Bianca Andreescu and Vasek Pospisil withdrew from Moscow.

There isn’t a single Canadian competing at the ATP or WTA Tour level this week other than Cana-Kiwi Erin Routliffe in doubles in Moscow.

Still, plenty of action around the tours.
