–
It’s a big full house of Canuckians this week at every level.
Auger-Aliassime, Shapovalov and Tabilo in Basel.
Fernandez and Andreescu in Tokyo.
Marino and Stakusic in Tampico.
And most of the rest of the women at a $60,000 ITF in Saguenay, the third of the three higher-level ITF tournaments in Canada this fall.
The final haul was three trophies and a final. Pretty good.

congrats to Marina, on her first WTA title!!
Way to go, Marina! First title!!!
I didn’t know if she’d have it in her, after going through qualifying, and playing those other higher ranked players.
I was lucky enough to find the match online to watch.
The WTA 125 matches are streamed on the WTA website for free now. You have to sign up for an account, but it doesn’t require a WTAtv subscription.
I saw that, and I signed up. When the match started, I only got a black screen though. I’ll try again this next week.
Yes, I got that at first as well – just a 15-second clip of Marino and her partner and the doubles trophies.
Hopefully it wasn’t a feature, just a bug.
Rebecca! Congratulations on the win!
Way to go, Marina! Best of luck in tonight’s final.
