<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: Alex de Minaur and Cam Norrie offer tennis fans contrasting styles in their third-round match at the Canadian Open. Norrie has solid power, but not an elite ability to move around the court. No player moves better than de Minaur, though, but he lacks high-end bombast. –> Alex de Minaur and Cam…

<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: Jannik Sinner is still scheduled to play at the Cincinnati Open. For now. The next Masters 1000's main draw starts on August 13, and Carlos Alcaraz has already withdrawn from the event because of the wrist injury he suffered in April. Sinner might be next. –> Jannik Sinner is still scheduled to…

<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: No matter what happened to Alex Eala in her first match at the Canadian Open, she was going to continue to make an impact either way. Some had complained she was getting too much attention until she won her first event. Andy Roddick was not one of those people. –> No matter…

<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: The second-round match of the Canadian Open between Alexander Zverev and Tallon Griekspoor should have been so much easier for the German. He was the top seed, after all, and the difference between him, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic and the rest of the ATP Tour was vast. –> The…

<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: Joao Fonseca had already achieved a career-first at the Canadian Open before he played Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round.

<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: Carlos Alcaraz won't be making a comeback at the Cincinnati Open from a wrist injury he suffered in April after all. The tournament announced on Tuesday that, due to lingering effects of the ailment, the Spaniard will need to skip the event. The question now is: what are his chances of playing…

<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: The tennis season might simply be too long. Some players withdraw from even important events because their bodies just need a rest. The Canadian Open saw many high-end players not participate because the event is followed by the Cincinnati Open and then the US Open. Alexander Zverev is among those stars who…

<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: Elina Svitolina was not playing her best to start her match against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the second round of the 2026 Canadian Open. She wasn't being blown out by her Spanish opponent, but that likely made the match even more frustrating for the Ukrainian. –> Elina Svitolina was not playing her…

<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: Stefanos Tsitsipas is getting there, slowly. Maybe back to the player he once was when tennis fans thought he might challenge for majors. That time feels like many years ago, though. –> Stefanos Tsitsipas is getting there, slowly. Maybe back to the player he once was when tennis fans thought he might…

<!–qv q:id=61 q:key=vcaa: Emma Raducanu is now 23 years old, and she won the only title of her career as an 18-year-old at the US Open. Since then, she hasn't been in top form for the most part, but worse, she has been injured for a lot of that time. That hasn't changed in 2026.…
