–

A smaller contingent of Canuckians this week, with Denis Shapovalov and Bianca Andreescu, to name two, not in action.

The Canadian tournament entry is Toronto on the women’s side, a similar event to Saguenay last week (which featured four Canadian quarterfinalists in the singles).

Félix Auger-Aliassime got a brutal draw at the Paris Masters 1000 with Ben Shelton in the opening round. And he ended up pulling out with an ongoing back issue before the tournament began.

In Hong Kong – Leylah Fernandez (semifinals). In Mérida – Marina Stakusic and Rebecca Marino.

And the last one standing was Kayla Cross, who reached the singles final at the $60K ITF in Toronto.
