–
ROME – The Canadians were all early exiters at the Italian Open.
Not a single one of them won a match.
So Genie Bouchard and Leylah Fernandez are off to play smaller tournaments this week – Fernandez as a wild card and No. 1 seed at an ITF in Madrid –,and the rest of the merry-go-round continues with just one week until the Roland Garros qualifying.
And school must be out – there are ton of unfamiliar names all over the ITF circuit.
End result are titles and finals on the ITF circuit. Good stuff from all.
