Canucks This Week – Week ending Sept. 7, 2025 (final results)

–

Flushing Meadows, NY – The second week of the US Open rolled over from last week, with some surprisingly good news on the Canuckian side.

Félix Auger-Aliassime was still alive. And so was Leylah Fernandez in doubles.

As well, a lot of players have returned to the WTA 125 circuit and the various ITFs around the planet.

Kayla Cross, who narrowly missed the cut for the US Open qualifying, went to an ITF in Portugal and won the doubles with Julie Belgraver – who happens to be the daughter of Tennis Canada women’s coach Noelle Van Lottum.
