The final ITF Junior events of 2025 held in Canada took place over the last month and they wrapped up with a bang. At the final tournament of the year on Canadian soil, the host nation dominated, taking all four titles.
Here is the monthly junior tennis update by Har-Tru.
The J100 event in Woodbridge took place near the end of October and the Canadians swept the tournament. Not only did players from the host nation come out on top in each draw, only Canadians even reached the finals.
Across the four all-Canadian finals, six different Canucks lifted the trophies. Xavier Massotte and Anastasia Malysheva were the singles winners. Enoch Lin and Quincy Yao took the boys doubles, while Elicia Lin and Clemence Mercier won the girls doubles.

Malysheva and Lin both reached the girls singles and doubles final, the only two Canucks to reach the final in two draws. Malysheva got the better of Lin in the singles final but Lin and Mercier beat Malysheva and Neda Rahimkhani in the doubles.

On the boy’s side, Massotte bested Dani Szabo in the singles final while Enoch Lin and Yao took down Felix Roussel and Brayden Woo for the doubles crown.
Canada had success at the two events out west in the weeks prior albeit not to the same degree as in Woodbridge. At both the events in Richmond and Victoria, BC, the hosts won two titles.
