Some good Canadian content in Washington, D.C., including a wild card appearance in the doubles by the soon-to-retire Genie Bouchard.
In addition to Leylah Fernandez, Victoria Mboko and Gabriel Diallo.
A lot of others, who had planned a tournament, ended up withdrawing to prepare to play the qualifying at the National Bank Open in Montreal and Toronto. Which is only one round this year – for all the simoleons.
Some still are in, though, notably at a $100K ITF in Evansville, Ill.
And a higher-than usual turnout at the $30K level of the ITFs.

Thanks. I guess my old eyes miss alot!
Go to the site or my YouTube Channel and look at all the pics from Roland Garros.
Or even Google Miami. You’ll see it. They don’t have huge logos, though.
Where is,Raonic these days?
Also, Stacey Fung? Was on a roll last year?… Injury? Hiatus?
Are those my only options?
Does Mboko have a new sponsorship with Wilson? Every time I saw her play before today, she wore clothing with no logos. Tks.
That’s literally not true. She’s been wearing Wilson all year.
