Indian Wells did not provide the results the Canadians were probably hoping for, but the nice thing about the Sunshine Double is the Miami Open is right there to provide a fresh slate. 

While the usual suspects will kick off their campaigns after byes, a new Canadian face is getting ready to step into the spotlight at the 1000-level event. 

Here’s what you need to know. 

In Case You Missed It: Quick Week in Indian Wells 

The Canadian content was limited to just one match in the second week of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Only Denis Shapovalov made it through and his campaign came to an end in round three at the hands of Carlos Alcaraz on Monday night. 

All of the other Canadians in singles and doubles were eliminated in week one.

What at Watch: Mboko Debut Highlights Miami Draw 

The second leg of the Sunshine Double gets underway this week with at least four Canadians competing in the singles draw. 

18-year-old Victoria Mboko will be making her WTA 1000 debut this week. The ITF’s 2025 match win and title leader was given a wildcard after her hot start to the season and will be competing in just her second WTA Tour main draw, her first since 2022. 

Mboko will open against Camila Osorio and would face 10th seed Paula Badosa in the second round.  

Joining Mboko in the women’s singles draw will be Leylah Annie Fernandez. The Lavalloise is the 26th seed and has a first-round bye. She will face either Varvara Gracheva or Alycia Parks in her opening match. Two-time Miami Open runner-up and seventh seed Elena Rybakina looms in the third round.

Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov are the two Canadians guaranteed to be in the men’s draw. Both will be seeded and have first-round byes.  

Auger-Aliassime is the 18th seed and will open against a qualifier. He could play 15th seed Lorenzo Musetti in the third round and may meet six-time Miami champion Novak Djokovic in round four. They are in the bottom half of the draw with second seed Carlos Alcaraz. 

Shapovalov, the 27th seed, is in the top half of the draw. He will play either Nicolas Jarry or Mariano Navone in his opening match with third seed Taylor Fritz looming in round three. 

Gabriel Diallo is still alive in qualifying. Alexis Galarneau, Liam Draxl, Rebecca Marino, Marina Stakusic, and Carson Branstine all competed in qualifying but all lost in the first round. 

The doubles draws have not yet been announced. 

Under the Radar: 

A week after Dan Martin got the job done on home soil, Raphaelle Lacasse followed suit, winning the women’s doubles title at the ITF W15 event in Montreal. Joshua Lapadat reached the men’s singles final and Nicaise Muamba got to the men’s doubles final, but both were defeated.

That was the only victory on the pro tours for Canada last week. There were two other close calls, with Kelsey Stevenson losing in the doubles final at an ATP Challenger event in Hersonissos, Greece, and Alvin Tudorica falling in the singles final at an ITF event in Huamantla, Mexico.

The ITF Masters World Team Championships for the 30+, 35+, 40+, and 45+ divisions took place last week in Antalya, Turkey, but no Canadian team was able to bring home any medals. Canada had squads competing in all four men’s divisions and in the 30+ women’s event. The best Canadian result was the women’s 30+ team, who came fifth. 

Attention shifts this week in Antalya to the Masters World Individual Championships for the same age groups. 

This week on the ITF World Tour, there are sizeable Canadian contingents competing at a pair of events in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. There is also a trio of Canadians competing at an ATP Challenger in Merida, Mexico.
