MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Canucks This Week – Week ending April 19, 2026 (final results)

The clay season begins in earnest for the Canadians, with Victoria Mboko and Leylah Fernandez both signed on for the big indoor event in Stuttgart, where the winner gets a Porsche.

On the men’s side it’s the Canadian reunion – minus Félix Auger-Aliassime, who had a good run in Monte Carlo but also won the UTS exhibition in Nîmes the week before, withdrew from Barcelona and will take a week before the back to back Masters 1000s in Madrid and Rome.

Good results: Doubles specialist Cleeve Harper makes the Tallahassee final. And Canadian (representing Poland) Filip Peliwo, the former junior No. 1, gets to a final for the first time since last July in Anning.

Benjamin Thomas George into a doubles final in Orlando.
