As a companion piece to that, a flashback to when Andreescu's countrywoman Genie Bouchard trod the same path – multiple times – as she tried to rebuild her career at the lower levels.
She really tried. She just couldn't get past the ghosts.

Dropping down to the WTA 125 level this week didn't pay off for Bianca Andreescu, who was ousted in the first round by Fiona Ferro on Tuesday.
The "grind your way back to the top" theory is much tougher in practice than it is as a hot take.

A couple of top absences mean Félix Auger-Aliassime is the No. 3 seed in Madrid, with Diallo and Shapo also squeezing into seeded spots.
A BIG roster on the #CanucksThisWeek beat tis week: it's all here.

Everyone's soul has its price. Happy to know you value yourself to that extent. 😁
On the ATP side, Rafael Jodar has jumped ... more than 640 spots in a year, into the top 50.
But stalwarts, Ruud, Rune and Tsitsipas are in some rankings trouble.
Monday's updated @atptour rankings are here. On Sunday!
(You know what to do).

A rare occurrence as the No. 1 seeds at both WTA events won the tournaments.
And lots of movement up and down the rankings – official Monday, but brought to you here on ... Sunday!

I meant the field of players.
Of all the moves this week, the promotion of Monte Carlo champ Jannik Sinner to No. 1, dropping Carlos Alcaraz to No. 2, is the flashiest. But a ton of other moves as well in this week's @atptour rankings report.

Only one (not super well-attended) WTA Tour event last week because of BJK Cup. But a crucial week for those wanting to squeeze in before Monday's singles deadline for Roland Garros.
We look at Monday's ranking update -on Sunday!

A big crew this week on the #CanucksThisWeek beat – everyone but the top two, FAA and Mboko, spread out around the world.
The week's already begun!
Here's the up-to-the-minute list.

Tennis Canada didn't even announce this– or even ... mention it (which is somewhat disrespectful to her talents and impact), but Gabriela Dabrowski also apparently hasn't made the date in Kazakhstan the next two days for BJK Cup.
Dubs is the 3rd match up now - more pivotal than it used to be.
To say the least, the first week of the clay-court season was a great week for the Argentines.
Here are today's updated ATP Tour rankings.

Sunday heads up!
The updated WTA Tour rankings, effective on Monday, are here. And we go deep.

Hehehe. Thanks. He'd probably disagree :-)
Get Tom Tebbutt on the case. He's the Canadian tennis journalistic legend :-)
Here's the #CanucksThisWeek roster for the coming week, with four Canuckians in the main draw of the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo.

You're not "reading reports".
You're seeing ... one Tweet by one total idiot, which people repeated.
(Raonic's brother is ... not a dentist. He's an IT guy who lives in Montenegro).
I'm not a volunteer organization. :-)
Ha, nah. Not enough people even care about it on the day to day - never mind buy a book.
On Tuesday another Canadian, Liam Draxl, will also vie for his first career ATP Tour main draw win, in Houston vs. WC Nisesh Basavareddy.

You might not get news of this today anywhere but here, but a Canadian won his first career match on the ATP Tour Monday in Morocco.
His name is Taha Baadi. And yeah, it's a bit complicated.
Read more here.

I'm implying ... nothing.
I'm just saying that's literally a bonkers thing to type.
I mean, this you?
Brooooooo.... Come on now!
I "seem" like that, do I? LOLOLOL
That's funny.
He got in "insane", "pedophilic" AND "serial killer".
Mic drop.
