Canucks This Week – Week ending Sept. 14, 2025 (final results)

–

It’s a Davis Cup week.

So some of the players who might have been out on the Challenger Circuit have been pressed into service in Halifax, because of the absence of Denis Shapovalov, and the late withdrawal of Félix Auger-Aliassime.

But the highlight so far is the deep run by Marina Stakusic out of the qualifying, in Guadajalara.

CAN v ISR Davis Cup to be played before empty stands

And the big performers of the week are Alejandro Tabilo, who made a Challenger final in China as he tries to build back after injury and Raphaelle Lacasse, who made the doubles final at a $15K in Monastir.
