Canucks This Week – Week ending Jan 25, 2026 (final results)

–

MELBOURNE, Australia – The first Grand Slam of the 2026 season began with eight Canadians in the main draws, after two extra players got through the qualifying.

Two seeds on the men’s side, two on the women’s side.

And the catalog of other tournaments expands, as the season well and truly gets under way.

Bianca Andreescu, who won a $30K ITF in Bradenton, Fla. last week, was entered in another one in Weston, Fla. this week and made the semifinals.

We’ll hold over those still alive in Melbourne to next week’s report.
