MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Canucks This Week – Week ending March 26, 2023 (Monday results)

MIAMI, Fla. – A new week begins, in this slightly chaotic four week period that’s called the Sunshine Swing.

With Indian Wells ending Sunday, the qualifying for the women in Miami begins.

The difference there on the Canadian side is that neither Leylah Fernandez nor Bianca Andreescu was able to squeeze into the seeding, which means they will not have a first-round bye.

Young Gabriel Diallo, who played a $25K on his “home” courts in Montreal this week, has to fly to Switzerland to play a big Challenger next week.
