With only one ATP event last week, no huge moves in the rankings list.
But like the women, a lot of new career bests.

Updated ATP Tour rankings are here:

Three WTA events in one week with the top guns taking a break means a lot of opportunities.

And Czechia’s Sara Bejlek, Great Britain’s Katie Boulter and veteran Romanian Sorana Cirstea took full advantage of the situation.

Here's Monday's update. On Sunday!

Title No. 9 for the all-time Canadian leader Félix Auger-Aliassime in Montpellier.
Open Court spoke to a happy guy after the match.

It should have been fairly routine for Canada vs. Brazil.
It was anything but that. But Liam Draxl channels Vasek Pospisil with the three-for, and becomes Canada's latest Davis Cup hero.

As Canada and Brazil start a deciding rubber in their Davis Cup tie in Vancouver, a little reading about Brazil's Orlando Luz - a doubles hero to start the day and Alejandro Tabilo, the Chlean-Canadian.
And how being a junior hotshot doesn't always mean much.

The latest "next great French hope" is Moise Kouamé, the first 2009 kid to make an ATP main draw as he debuts in Montpellier Wednesday.
Open Court scouted him out a year ago in the AO juniors.
And there's been one significant change since then.

The end of a major means a ton of changes in the rankings, and we've got the latest from the WTA for you, effective Monday, from somewhere over the Pacfic.

Tennis never stops, so this coming week on the #CanucksThisWeek beat has Davis Cup, Félix Auger-Aliassime in Montpellier, Leylah Fernandez in Abu Dhabi and much more.
Keep track of it all here:

If you have no specific rooting interest and just root for a good story, you can't ask for better than Carlos Alcaraz v Novak Djokovic.
If you do, either one winning would be a historic title.
On Sunday, we'll find out.

The difference between a great player and a champion was starkly on display Friday at the Australian Open, in a memorable semifinal epic that proved another triumph for Carlos Alcaraz, and another "what-if" for Alexander Zverev.

Canadian junior Nadia Lagaev - the only Canuckian in the AO junior singles – went out to the No. 3 seed in the third round Thursday. But it's her best Slam effort, and the future is bright.
Meet her here:

Once you hit legend status, that pre-match warmup gets a little ... slacker.
Watch as Marat Safin and Marcos Baghdatis show how it's done.

Somewhat surprisingly, @carlosalcaraz and @AlexZverev's head-to-head stands at 6-6 – 2-2 in majors.
They meet Friday in the AO semis.
Here's Alcaraz getting ready on Court 16 this afternoon.

The Monfils's kinda sorta broke the rules on Saturday in Melbourne.
But the extra practice paid off as Elina Svitolina is into the QFs, with her bestest practice partner, husband Gaël Monfils, right there with her.
How much do we love this couple?

Victoria Mboko made a match of it in the end against the world No. 1.
But Aryna Sabalenka prevails in two sets, and reaches the @AustralianOpen quarterfinals.

Leylah Fernandez might have been one and don in singles and women's doubles at this Australian Open, but she CARRIED Nick Kyrgios in the 1st-round of the mixed. 😅

Is the world ready for a Fernandez-Kyrgios mixed doubles combo?
The Canadian is used to playing "celebrity mixed" at majors. But it's the matchup we didn't know we needed.
Starting ... now.

They're expecting a scorcher Saturday at the Australian Open open, so they've adjusted the schedule and pulled out the "Heat Stress Scale" graphics, no doubt.
40C is ... 40C.

Here are the details.

It's on Friday, and already we're down to four courts for singles at the AO – and just eight matches.
But all of the men's matches set up to have at least some potential to be bangers.
Not many so far - except Wawrinka :-)

Thursday results and Friday sked here:

And the other half – Routliffe – did exactly the same with her own bestie Asia Muhammad, advancing to the 2nd round.
The two new/old pairs could only meet in the final.

A quick divorce in the offseason and the Cana-Kiwis – Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe – are in Melbourne with new/old partners for 2026.
Dabrowski puts her 1st W on the board in her first match of the season.
