I got ahead of myself on the scheduling.
Auger-Aliassime will play Novak Djokovic Wednesday not Sinner.
Still a tough match but he can legit win this one.

Really looking forward to seeing what she does in LA in '28.
She could absolutely dominate the pool....

McIntosh withdraws from her last few competitions due to health and her coach wants her to now focus on preparing for the Pan Am Games.

Felix Auger-Aliassime enters the final tennis major of the year, the US Open, as the 3rd ranked male (world #1 Janik Sinner is injured hence the elevation for Felix from his world rank of 4).
Highest Canadian men's seed ever in this tournament.
Milos Raonic was 5th seed twice a decade or so back.
Auger-Aliassime plays his first match tomorrow.
He has reached the semis twice the latest last year when he lost to Sinner.
Pretty heady stuff to be 3rd seed.
Other Canadians.
Denis Shapovalov, unseeded, won his first round match today.
Leylah Fernandez, seeded 31, won her first round match today.
She has actually made a final, in 2021, when she lost to Emma Radacanu.
As an aside Radacanu is as cute as a button.
The US Open can be a fun watch...it breathes a bit of New York and can get rowdy and intense.....

Canada's Leylah Fernandez captured her first title of the season with a 7-5, 6-0 win over Australia's Talia Gibson in the women's singles final at the Singapore Tennis Open on Sunday.
The Laval, Que., native won the last nine games to secure the win in one hour 38 minutes. Fernandez dropped only one set across her five matches in the tournament.
It marks the sixth career title for Fernandez, whose last triumph came at the Japan Women's Open last October. All of her titles have been earned in hard-court tournaments.
Fernandez improved to 6-3 in final appearances and now has two WTA 500 titles, having previously won the D.C. Open in July 2025.
