–

The big tournaments at home are over. But some move on to an equally large tournament in Cincinnati.

Unfortunately, Bianca Andreescu, Denis Shapovalov and Milos Raonic didn’t make the date.

But there is a men’s Challenger in Winnipeg that will have as much Canadian content as you can possibly handle.

And three of them made the doubles final, with Gabriel Diallo coming out the winner with Swiss partner Leandro Riedi.
