Jannik Sinner's Laureus Award nomination has been rescinded.

The WTA Tour action in Austin, Tx Wednesday starts at Noon ET, and in Mérida, Mexico at 3 p.m. Orders of play here: opencourt.ca/2025/02/25/w...

Wednesday ATP Tour action is under way in Dubai, with Santiago (where most of the power is reportedly back on) and Acapulco later in a 20-hour tennis day. Skeds here: opencourt.ca/2025/02/25/a...

And just under the wire on Sunday, come the updated ATP Tour rankings – with Doha finalist Jack Draper and Rio finalist Alexandre Müller up to career highs. opencourt.ca/2025/02/24/a...

Even though the ITF tournament in frigid Spring, TX is ongoing, the updated WTA Tour rankings for Monday are here - on Sunday! Welcome to the top 10, Mirra Andreeva. opencourt.ca/2025/02/24/w...

On the ATP Tour side, qualifying wrapped up on Sunday in Dubai, Acapulco and Santiago and the Monday skeds are packed. Canadian Diallo gets No. 3 seed Tommy Paul in Mexico. Sunday results, Monday skeds here: opencourt.ca/2025/02/23/a...

With most of the top players taking a breath before the upcoming back-to-back extended 1000s, this week's WTA Tour stops in Mérida, Mexico and Austin, Tx (where it finally warmed up - a bit) are great opps for other players. Sunday results, Monday skeds here: opencourt.ca/2025/02/23/w...

First she was – then she wasn't. What was once a return to tennis for Venus Williams at Indian Wells became, four days later, a terse announcement that she wasn't, in fact, going to play. opencourt.ca/2025/02/23/f...

It's not complete yet. But here's a good idea of where all the Canuckians will be this coming week. opencourt.ca/2025/02/22/c...

Updated results through Friday on the #CanucksThisWeek beat. One title already. And while Félix Auger-Aliassime lost a tough one in a 3rd set TB, his pal Alexis Galarneau won one and is into the Pune semifinal. Results here: opencourt.ca/2025/02/16/c...

How 🥶☃️ is too 🥶☃️ to play tennis outside? The women in Texas are finding out the hard way. Even the hardy Canadians. Story here: opencourt.ca/2025/02/19/e...

Results through Tuesday on the #CanucksThisWeek beat. Lots of players still alive! opencourt.ca/2025/02/16/c...

Wednesday's sked at the WTA Dubai will be overloaded because of rain on Tuesday. Some players will have to play doubleheaders - and even try to fit some doubles in there. Might want to keep the Irish pub open. Here's the sked (and today's results): opencourt.ca/2025/02/18/w...

Busy day on the ATP Tour Tuesday with Novak Djokovic back in action in singles, Félix Auger-Aliassime also back – and teen dream Joao Fonseca right back on court - this time at home in Rio. Monday results, Tuesday OOPs: opencourt.ca/2025/02/17/a...

Tuesday's sked in Dubai is a RINGING endorsement for the near-dodo bird that is the one-week 1000-level event. The top 8 seeds in action: from Sabalenka to Navarro and incl. Swiatek and Gauff. Here's the 🔥 sked. opencourt.ca/2025/02/17/w...

Good thing that's in 'quotes' - like after all this, Sinner would be stupid enough to do that. Just because people on Twitter with an agenda "write" this doesn't make it true. Come on. #TabloidTrash

Three ATP 250s in a week - and some MOVES in the updated rankings - official today! Biggest mover: teen dream Joao Fonseca, who wins in Buenos Aires. All here: ⬇️ opencourt.ca/2025/02/17/a...

You know what they say: it's always Monday somewhere! So without further ado, here are the updated WTA Tour rankings, effective Monday. Anisimova and Ostapenko LEAP up the "road to the finals" chart. opencourt.ca/2025/02/16/w...

Final results on the #CanucksThisWeek for this week, with a title in Huamantla for Tudorica (his 3rd career), and a final in Cancún for Branstine. opencourt.ca/2025/02/08/c... (Tudorica pic: USF)

On the WTA Tour side , Day 2 isn't quite as star-studded as Day 1 (with the top 8 seeds still not in action). But the champion and finalist from Doha have a way-too-quick turnaround and have to do it all over again. Sunday results, Monday Dubai OOP here: opencourt.ca/2025/02/16/w...

Monday is the start of the main draws at competing ATP 500 events in Doha and Rio. With Novak Djokovic returning to action – in doubles, to send off his contemporary Fernando Verdasco. Sunday results, Monday OOPs here. opencourt.ca/2025/02/16/a...

This week's #CanucksThisWeek machine has already begun, unfortunately, with Leylah Fernandez out of Dubai in singles and doubles before the end of the weekend. Here's the roster. opencourt.ca/2025/02/16/c...

Seriously. Dude. I mean, he'd have to get traded because he'd run out of massage therapists in his current market and needed (alleged) fresh meat.

Sunday order of play for the WTA 1000 in Dubai, along with Saturday results so far. Canadian Leylah Fernandez up at ... 2 a.m. ET v Mertens. opencourt.ca/2025/02/15/w...

WADA comes to a case resolution with Jannik Sinner for a suspension of three months for his positive doping test, ahead of April's scheduled CAS hearing of their appeal. opencourt.ca/2025/02/15/w...

Update through Wednesday on the #CanucksThisWeek beat, with Carson Branstine into the QF of Cancún after two impressive wins. opencourt.ca/2025/02/08/c...

According to some diligent reporting from @theathletic.bsky.social , Elena Rybakina coach Stefan Vukov will serve a one-year suspension that began Jan. 31. And the details it reports are about as bad as you'd think. opencourt.ca/2025/02/11/t...

As a companion piece to the wee-hours announcement today about the demolition of the US Open mixed doubles event, a deep dive into the ... evolution I've witnessed over the last 16-17 years at the Grand Slams. In every way but the money-making way, it's a rough one. opencourt.ca/2025/02/11/s...

Sacrificing history, tradition and fairness for the almighty dollar, the US Open has blown up the mixed doubles event for 2025. opencourt.ca/2025/02/11/s...

Play is wrapped on Day 2 in Doha, with Leylah Fernandez impressively through to the third round. Final results – and a LIT Tuesday sked including Gauff, Sabalenka and more. opencourt.ca/2025/02/10/w...

Today's ATP Tour rankings update stars Canadian Denis Shapovalov - who won the biggest title of his career in Dallas Sunday. And the two Canucks in the top 10 in these early days of the race to Turin. opencourt.ca/2025/02/10/a...

Yes, it's still Sunday – but it's Monday somewhere! So here is the updated WTA rankings list effective Monday, with Abu Dhabi champ Belinda Bencic rocketing up the charts. opencourt.ca/2025/02/09/w...

On the ATP Tour side, Carlos Alcaraz looks in good shape to win his Rotterdam debut, while some Semifinalists remain to be determined in Dallas. Friday results, Saturday skeds here: opencourt.ca/2025/02/07/a...

You probably didn't have Bencic v Krueger in the pool for your Abu Dhabi final, but here we are. Both have played lights out. And Rebecca Marino is in the Mumbai semis Friday results, and Saturday WTA skeds here. opencourt.ca/2025/02/07/w...

Medvedev and a sub-par Rune are out in Rotterdam, which leaves a nice lane for No. 1 Alcaraz. In Dallas, it'll be late before all of Friday's QFists are determined. Results (so far) for Thursday, and Friday ATP Tour skeds here. opencourt.ca/2025/02/06/a...

Rebecca Marino is through to the QFs in Mumbai, while Leylah Fernandez bowed out at that stage in Abu Dhabi, where top seed Rybakina is now the favorite. Thursday results, Friday WTA skeds here. opencourt.ca/2025/02/06/w...

If it's not one thing it's another, as Bianca Andreescu's latest comeback attempt is foiled. opencourt.ca/2025/02/06/b...

Updated results on the #CanucksThisWeek through Wednesday (with Shapovalov yet to play in Dallas tonight). opencourt.ca/2025/01/31/c...

A lot of upsets at the various WTA stops on Wednesday, but Leylah Fernandez is into the QFs in Abu Dhabi. Wednesday final results, Thursday skeds here. opencourt.ca/2025/02/05/w...

Canada's Leylah Fernandez plays Lulu Sun in Abu Dhabi in the wee hours, awhile Marina Stakusic looks for a QF spot in Transylvania in the early hours of Wednesday. Tuesday results, Wednesday skeds here: opencourt.ca/2025/02/04/w...

Wednesday's ATP Tour skeds have Félix Auger-Aliassime up in Rotterdam, and Denis Shapovalov late night in Dallas. And a lot more. Tuesday results, Wednesday OOPs here. opencourt.ca/2025/02/04/a...
