Canucks This Week – Week ending Oct. 17, 2025 (Monday results)

–

There are three ATP 250s this week – and the three highest-ranked Canadian men have split them up with Félix Auger-Aliassime in Brussels, Denis Shapovalov in Stockholm and Gabriel Diallo in Almaty, Kazakstan.

All three have had success in their chosen venues, so they can be confident going in.

On the women’s side, the second tier are all finding themselves at a WTA 125 in Tampico (Mexico has traditionally been good to the Canucks).

As for the rest, there’s a new $30,000 ITF in Quebec City this week, at the Auger-Aliassime Academy. And the Canadian content there will be massive.
