–

With Félix Auger-Aliassime in Dubai and Denis Shapovalov in Acapulco, the Canuckians were represented at the ATP 500 level.

On the women’s side, which was just 250s this week, Rebecca Marino was playing Monterrey ahead of Indian Wells the week after that.

Toronto has a $25K women’s ITF event, which will be chock full (as usual) of Canadians from the qualies through to the main draw.

Katherine Sebov, who hadn’t played since her big moment making it to the main draw in Australia, was entered as the No. 2 seed there, not far from her house. And she won the whole thing with the loss of one set.

Caledon, Ont’s finest, and Montreal native Erin Routliffe, a Cana-Kiwi, won the third WTA Tour event of her career in Austin, Texas.
