Final
St. John’s, NL – We witnessed plenty of action on the final day of tennis competition at the 2025 Canada Games. The morning featured the last placement matches for eliminated teams, while in the afternoon, the four remaining provinces with medal hopes took to the courts: Alberta and British Columbia battling for bronze, and Quebec and Ontario squaring off for gold.
In two of the three placement matches, results went according to the preliminary round standings. Nova Scotia secured fifth place with a 4-2 win over Saskatchewan, relegating them to sixth. Similarly, New Brunswick defeated Newfoundland and Labrador 4-2, confirming ninth place, while the host province settled for tenth.
The upset of the day came in the clash between Prince Edward Island and Manitoba. After forcing a deciding mixed doubles match by winning the men’s doubles in a super tiebreak (4-6, 7-6, 10-6), P.E.I. carried the momentum to capture the mixed doubles as well, completing the surprise with a 4-3 victory. With this result, Prince Edward Island finished seventh, a significant improvement from their tenth-place finish at the last Canada Games. Manitoba ended in eighth.
In the bronze-medal match, British Columbia left no room for doubt against Alberta. Amy Shen and Daniel Dong set the tone with singles victories, followed by wins from Gary Jiang and Lilian Liu, who sealed the medal with their own singles triumphs. With a dominant 6-0 sweep, British Columbia claimed the third step of the podium, a strong finish after nearly upsetting Ontario the previous day in a decisive mixed doubles match.
The championship final saw Ontario face Quebec. Ontario came out firing, with Benjamin Azar opening with a straight-sets singles win, quickly followed by Lily Rochon’s victory in her singles match. Up 2-0, Ontario pressed on as Nadia Lagaev prevailed 6-4, 6-2, and Josh Adamson clinched the gold medal with a tight 7-5, 6-4 victory. Quebec managed to win both doubles matches, but it was too little, too late. Final score: 4-2 for Ontario, who walked away with gold, while Quebec, despite a strong showing throughout the week, settled for silver.
