–

It’s a lower-level event – a WTA 125 in Tampico, Mexico.

But there are to be five Canadians out of the 32 in the main singles draw. And that’s when the withdrawal of Bianca Andreescu last week.

So it could be another great Mexican week for the Canuckians.

Monday – Bianca Fernandez plays (we didn’t look this up, but pretty confident) the highest-ranked player she’s ever faced in Magda Linette of Poland.

She’ll team up with her sister in doubles.

And Rebecca Marino and Carol Zhao also are in action.
