–

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – The California desert is the centre of the tennis universe over the next couple of weeks.

And plenty of Canadians are taking part.

Even better, four of the six Canadians in the singles main draws are seeded, and so have first-round byes.

Montreal hosted a men’s $25K ITF tournament, while the women are in Fredericton, NB (although not quite in as large numbers as they were last week for the $25K in Toronto).

We’ve carried over the results from the players still alive into next week’s listing.
