–

The third Grand Slam tournament of the season gets under way this week, with four women and three men into the main draw in singles.

As well, three more are playing doubles (Leylah Fernandez is playing both).

The draws, overall, couldn’t have gone much better for the Canucks.

Others are hitting the Challenger circuit, and a number of ITF tournaments around the planet. But the numbers aren’t nearly the same as they were a couple of weeks ago.

There is just one Canadian in the main draw on either the boys’ or girls’ side at Roehampton, the big grass tuneup for junior Wimbledon.

On the Challenger side, Chilean-Canadian Alejandro Tabilo wins in Karlsruhe, Germany.
