–

The Canadian content level drops this week, as there were two ITFs (the women’s a bigger event) in Canada last week, but none this week.

There are Challengers in Calgary (joint) and Drummondville still to come this season.

But Gabriela Dabrowski represented at the WTA Finals, where she and partner Giuliana Olmos were the No. 2 seeds.

And Denis Shapovalov and Félix Auger-Aliassime continued their autumn runs – this time in the same place, at the Paris Masters.

Filip Peliwo, who now represents Poland, got to both the singles and doubles finals in Jerusalem.

(Last week’s final results at the bottom of the post).
