Exciting Day for Canadian Tennis Stars at the U.S. Open

Tennis fans from coast to coast are buzzing with excitement as several Canadians prepare to take the court at the prestigious U.S. Open. Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and her partner Erin Routliffe, who hails from Montreal but represents New Zealand, are set to compete in the women’s doubles final this afternoon. The duo, seeded third in the tournament, are aiming to capture their second U.S. Open title after their victory in 2023.

Their opponents in the final will be the top-seeded pair of Taylor Townsend from the United States and Katerina Siniakova from the Czech Republic. Dabrowski, a seasoned doubles player, will be vying for her fourth Grand Slam title as she and Routliffe take to the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Later in the day, Montreal’s rising star Felix Auger-Aliassime will face off against world No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy in the men’s singles semifinals. Auger-Aliassime, seeded 25th in the tournament, has been on a hot streak, pulling off three consecutive upsets to reach his first major semifinal since the 2021 U.S. Open. His path to the semifinal included impressive victories over top players like Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev.

On the other hand, Sinner, the reigning Wimbledon and Australian Open champion, has been dominant throughout the tournament, dropping just one set on his way to the semifinals. While Auger-Aliassime holds a slight edge in their head-to-head matchups, Sinner will be a formidable opponent, having recently defeated the Canadian in straight sets at the Cincinnati Open.
