Canucks This Week – Week ending Sept. 28, 2025 (final results)

–

The full crew should be back on the women’s side, with Victoria Mboko and Leylah Fernandez back in Beijing for the first time since the US Open.

And Bianca Andreescu returned in Beijing.

She can take “top-20 wild cards” because she’s a Grand Slam champion.

Andreescu hadn’t played since injuring her ankle in Montreal 2 1/2 months ago. She lost her opener to qualifier Anna Bondar in two close sets.

Newlywed Denis Shapovalov and Gabriel Diallo returned in Tokyo.

Note that the big ATP and WTA events have Wednesday starts.

And that Cana-Chilean Alejandro Tabilo win Chengdu – held over to this week because of the Tuesday night final.
