–

There were four Canadians in finals on Sunday, during this most opportunistic week for the Canucks on Tour.

The biggest news was Félix Auger-Aliassime getting off the schneid and winning his first ATP Tour title (not a minor one, either, a solid 500-level event in Rotterdam).

As well, Carol Zhao and Peter Polansky, and their partners, won the doubles events at a $25K in Cancun that featured five Canadians this week.

Canadian Kiwi Erin Routliffe also reached a final, the doubles of the St. Petersburg WTA tournament (also a 500).

Great week overall.
