–

A small crop of Canadian elsewhere, as the five best Canadian men are in Malagá, Spain for the final finals of the Davis Cup finals.

Their first tie wasn’t until Thursday, against Germany. But it was a … HELL of a week.

Most of the rest of the Canadians are at a joint $15K ITF in the Dominican Republic where Liam Draxl won the men’s doubles, and Louise Kwong reached the women’s doubles final.

There were a number of semifinalists as well (although Draxl and Bianca Fernandez both retired in their matches).

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