–
In the end, the Canadians took home a medal from the Olympics – a bronze in mixed, with Félix Auger-Aliassime and Gabriela Dabrowski doing yeoman’s work.
Denis Shapovalov was having a great run in D.C. – until it was about to end but before it did, he got himself defaulted with an unsportsmanlike.
Genie Bouchard had wild card – in doubles, where her current ranking stands at 1,180. She played two matches in that ITF tournament she played last May. half her total over the last two years.
Rebecca Marino, who made a quick one-week trip to Portugal and (you’d expect) has a wild card into Toronto, and prepped with a semifinal at a $75K ITF in Lexington, KY that has a massive amount of Canadian content
No surprise there, since the University of Kentucky is basically command central for Canadian male players in the US college system.
