–
A full slate of players this week. But with only the one joint WTA/ATP 1000 in Madrid, most of them have to play lower level events.
Notably, Rebecca Marino and Carol Zhao continued on hard court, at a $100K ITF in China where they were also joined by Stacey Fung.
And Gabriel Diallo finally hit the European red clay. Although not for long.
Winner of the week is Quebec’s Dan Martin, who reached the doubles final at the $15K ITF in Monastir, Tunisia.
And the two Canadian men in Madrid continued on – and we’ll roll them over to next week’s list although Denis Shapovalov was eliminated late on Sunday night

What happened to the Cana / Cana-Kiwi team of Dabrowski / Routliffe? Is Gabi injured, or is the team over?
Are those my only two options?
Of course not….just possibilities?…lol. Just wanted to know if you caught wind of anything.
Nobody knows how to actually ask a QUESTION any more. 😛
