Bianca Andreescu has set herself up well for a strong 2027 campaign. A red-hot run at the WTA 125 level over the last few weeks has seen the former US Open champion shoot up the rankings as she adds hardware to her trophy cabinet on a weekly basis.
As a result, she most likely will not have to worry about qualifying at the Australian Open in January.
Here's what you need to know.
Under the Radar: Andreescu Almost Completes 125 Hat Trick
Bianca Andreescu arrived at the WTA 125 event in Cali, Colombia last week fresh off back-to-back 125 titles in Rovereto, Italy, and Queretaro, Mexico. Playing on her third continent in four weeks, the Mississaugan kept rolling, not dropping a set on her way to a third consecutive final. She only lost more than three games in one of eight sets before the final.
However, scheduling disrupted Andreescu's rhythm near the finish line. Bad weather forced the postponement of her semifinal, forcing the Canadian to finish the match the same day as the final. While she only needed a few minutes to finish off Alice Tubello, Andreescu had to turn around quickly to play the final against Leyre Romero Gormaz of Spain.
The Spaniard took the final in straight sets, ending Andreescu's winning streak at 14 consecutive matches.

Still, just by reaching the final, the Canadian climbed back up to No. 100 in the WTA rankings. As a result, she will almost certainly earn direct entry into the Australian Open main draw in January.
And she is not done yet. Andreescu is competing at another WTA 125 event this week in Sopo, Colombia, where she is seeded third.

In Case You Missed It: Parisian Heartbreak for Shapovalov
With the 2026 season winding down, last week was a quiet one for the Canadians. Only one Canuck was in action and his match never even reached match point.
Denis Shapovalov was the lone Canadian representative at the final Masters 1000 event of the season in Paris. In his opening match against Karen Khachanov, the 27-year-old seemed on the brink of a dramatic comeback win after rallying from a set down, squeaking out a tight second-set tiebreak 8-6, then going up 4-1 in the decider.
However, the Richmond Hillian took a fall late in the third set, appearing to injure his leg, and was forced to retire just seven points from victory.
Leylah Annie Fernandez was originally entered in the WTA 250 event in Hong Kong last week, but pulled out at the last minute, bringing an end to her 2026 season.
