From Tokyo to Toronto and beyond, Canadians were playing for titles all over the world this past weekend. Several winners' trophies will be making their way home, while one doesn't need to travel since it was won in Canada.
For one of the Canadian winners, her victory tied her personal record for most professional titles in a single season.

Under the Radar: Andreescu Matches 2019 Haul
For the second time in her career, Bianca Andreescu has won four pro titles in a season.
On Sunday, the 26-year-old defeated Tatjana Maria in the final of the WTA 125 event in Queretaro, Mexico, to secure her fourth title of the year. That's the same amount she won in her breakout 2019 campaign.
Andreescu has won 10 matches in a row, all at the WTA 125 level, picking up back-to-back titles in Rovereto, Italy and now Queretaro. Eight of those 10 wins were in straight sets, including all four on her way to the final in Mexico. She needed three to dispatch the top-seeded Maria in the final, which the Canadian won 6-1, 2-6, 6-3.
With the win, Andreescu is on the brink of re-entering the Top 100 of the WTA rankings. She currently sits at No. 109. The former US Open champion needs to climb five more spots to get back into position for direct entry into Grand Slam main draws.

Andreescu was not the only Canadian winner in Mexico last week, as Joshua Peck picked up the doubles title at the M15 event in Mazatlan alongside Anders Matta of Chile. It was Peck's first title since 2021, which also came in Mexico.
Jared Horwood was the first of the Canadians to secure their title last week, picking up the doubles crown at the M25 in Sheffield, UK. He and British partner Rhys Lawlor did not drop a set on their way to the final where they rallied from a set down to beat Cameron Fryer and Kyle McKay 10-6 in the match tiebreak to claim the title, Horwood's second of the year.
Inge Weber added to Canada's title haul at the Masters Tour World Championships over the weekend, claiming the title in the 90+ women's singles event. Weber did not drop a set on her way to victory, capping off her run with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over top seed June Pearce in the final.
Canada had a couple more looks at titles last week. Liam Draxl fought his way into his second ATP Challenger final of the season, including a dramatic semifinal comeback from match point down against Sebastian Dominko, but was beaten in the final by Dylan Dietrich. Sasha Vagramov reached the doubles final at a W35 in Norman, Oklahoma, but was edged out 10-8 in the match tiebreak.
After three weeks of World Tennis Women's Tour events in Canada, it is the men's turn this week as an M15 event is being held in Trois-Rivières, with over two dozen Canadians competing, including Horwood and Peck.

In Case You Missed It: Fernandez, Dabrowski Both Reach Tokyo Finals.
While Canada was titleless on the main tours last week, the WTA Tour finals streak was stretched to six event weeks in a row as both Leylah Annie Fernandez and Gabriela Dabrowski found themselves in the title matches at the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
Fernandez reached her third final of the Asian Swing, beating Himeno Sakatsuma, Elise Mertens, and Kamilla Rakhimova all in straight sets (she got a quarter-final walkover when world No. 1 Elena Rybakina withdrew) to reach the final. However, despite fighting back from 4-0 down in the second set, she was denied a second title of the year by Diana Shnaider.
Just by reaching the final, Fernandez re-entered the WTA Top 20 and passed Victoria Mboko to take back the mantle of Canadian No. 1.
Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani reached their fourth consecutive final, entering the Tokyo title match on a 16-match winning streak. However, after three straight titles and then back-to-back three setters in the quarters and semis, the Canadian-Brazilian duo saw their streak snapped by Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini in straight sets.
Denis Shapovalov returned to action last week for the first time since suffering an injury earlier in October in Tokyo. He won his first match back at the ATP 500 event in Basel, Switzerland, against Remy Bertola in straight sets, but lost in round two to Taylor Fritz.

What to Watch: Fernandez Eyes Dream Finish to 2026
Action is winding down on the ATP and WTA Tours for the year, with the latter holding its last events for most players.
Leylah Annie Fernandez is looking to wrap up her season in style. She is seeded third at the WTA 250 event in Hong Kong but has a tricky first-round match with former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin.
The Lavalloise, who has reached the final at three of her last five events, would play either Dayana Yastremska or Zeynep Sonmez in the second round before a possible quarter-final clash with No. 8 Katie Boulter. She is in the top half of the draw with No. 1 seed Sorana Cirstea.
Denis Shapovalov was Canada's lone representative at the final Masters 1000 event of the year in Paris, but retired up 4-1 in the third set after suffering an injury from a fall in the first round on Monday against Karen Khachanov.
