–
The focus of Canadian tennis was at Wimbledon last week. But when the calendar turns to this past week, everyone has been eliminated from singles.
There was still hope in the women’s doubles, and in the mixed. And in the end, Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe fell in the final
The other centre of Canadian tennis this week was a Challenger in Winnipeg, one of two in a row that will allow the Canuckians to try to earn some points at home.
It wasn’t as loaded as last week’s $25K in Laval, simply because the rankings cutoff is higher. None of the Canadians made it through the first round of qualifying there and, overall, the men didn’t post many good results.
But Vasek Pospisil returned in Winnipeg, as a wild card.
And Steven Diez, who took a break as he welcomed his first child, returned at a $25K – and won it.
Overall, the roster was longer than it was last week, with a number of additional players competing all over the planet.
