Tennis Talk – November 2019
While the WTA and ATP are winding down an eventful season, there is still plenty of Canadian tennis news on our radar! Bianca Andreescu finished at No. 5 in the world rankings after retiring from the WTA Finals and concluding what was a legendary year for the young Grand Slam champion. Andreescu’s coach, Sylvain Bruneau, is confident the powerful phenom will be healthy and ready to return to action come January.
On the men’s side, Denis Shapovalov had an impressive run at the Paris Masters that ended in a finals loss to Novak Djokovic and he has now equaled his career-high ranking of No. 15 in the ATP. Felix Auger-Aliassime finished at No. 21 as the ATP Finals in London continue among the top eight players.
In Davis Cup action, Milos Raonic withdrew from Team Canada with a back injury prior to the November 18th start date. Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil will join Brayden Schnur, Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime as Canada battles Italy and the USA in Group F of the David Cup Finals in Madrid.

Tennis Talk – October 2019
Canadian phenom Bianca Andreescu’s impressive 17-match win streak unfortunately came to an end this month against a formidable foe.
After a legendary run to the 2019 US Open singles title this summer, Andreescu fell to the 21 year-old Naomi Osaka in the quarterfinals at the China Open. It was the match tennis fans across the globe were waiting to see, and in the end the former world No. 1 (and 2018 US Open champ) took down the Canadian teen in three tightly contested sets.
It was Andreescu’s first loss to a top-10 opponent in nine matches, and she will look to finish the season strong at the WTA Finals beginning on October 27. We can’t wait to see both Osaka and Andreescu continue to move the needle in women’s tennis and inspire the next generation of players across the tennis world.
