Canucks This Week – Week ending March 1, 2026 (final results)

–

This week marks the return of 2019 US Open champion Bianca Andreescu to the WTA level, with a wild card into the 250 tournament in Austin, Texas.

Andreescu began the season playing a few lower-level ITF tournaments and then had a bit of a break.

Félix Auger-Aliassime is the top seed in Dubai, and he and Denis Shapovalov both have tough opening rounds.

Marina Stakusic and Cadence Brace are in the main draw in Mérida.

And there are a number of players spread around the ITF circuit.

In the end, it was a semi in Dubai for FAA, and TitleTown in doubles for Justin Boulais at an ITF in Portugal.
