Canucks This Week – Week ending April 19, 2025 (final results)

–

This was the week a lot of Canadian tennis fans have been waiting for, as 2019 US Open champion Bianca Andreescu returned to action after a long absence, at a WTA 250 in Rouen France.

It was indoors, on clay, and Andreescu plans to play Madrid and Rome with a protected ranking. She showed some good things, but couldn’t get through her opener.

The ATP 250 in Munich is top heavy with Canucks as Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov were among the seeds. Both went out with a whimper, and will look to right the ship in the next few weeks.

But plenty of Canuckians went deep: Filip Peliwo into a final (at long last), Katherine Sebov and Dan Martin into semifinals and Draxl/Harper with the doubles title in Tallahassee. Along with Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe, who got their 2025 season going with the title at Stuttgart.
