–
MELBOURNE, Australia – The first tranche of the 2026 season is already done.
Now the players get back to the regular ATP and WTA routines, although Victoria Mboko, scheduled to play the WTA 500 in Abu Dhabi this week, has decided to take another week before the twin 1000s coming up right after that.
The Canadian men – not the top two, but everyone else – are at Davis Cup in Vancouver, to play Brazil.
And Félix Auger-Aliassime took a wild card into the ATP event in Montpellier, and will be the top seed.
