–
It’s THE week for tennis in Canada with the ATP and WTA 1000s taking place in Toronto and Montreal, respectively.
That meant a lot of the players who might have been out on the circuit got spots in qualifying, while the lower-ranked players are still out there grinding.
It’s also the last tournament of Genie Bouchard’s career, as she says goodbye in her hometown.
