Today on Tennis Channel: Kalinskaya, Davidovich Fokina bid for maiden tour titles
Up north, the likes of Monfils, Mboko, Eala and Andreescu feature on opening days in Toronto and Montreal.
Three tour-level tournaments handed out trophies Saturday, but two are still up for grabs in Washington D.C.
While the combined 500-level event wraps up this weekend, Montreal and Toronto see their main draws begin. All of the action can be streamed throughout the day on the Tennis Channel app.
Here's five things you need to know about Sunday’s happenings, and where you can watch each event.
Leylah Fernandez seeks her biggest WTA title in D.C. as Anna Kalinskaya bids for first ever
The left-hander has lived on the edge en route to the championship, first taking out top seed Jesscia Pegula 7-5 in the third to reach the quarterfinals and following that Top 10 win up two rounds later by overcoming a set and 5-3 deficit to edge third seed Elena Rybakina in a decisive tiebreaker. Her final-round opponent, Kalinskaya, alternatively has won all eight sets she’s played—notably cooling off Emma Raducanu in her semifinal win. Fernandez prevailed, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, to claim their only previous meeting more four years ago in Guadalajara.

Davidovich Fokina chases inaugural ATP title against Alex de Minaur at DC Open
The Spaniard has been on a roll in the nation’s capital, backing up his late-win over top-seeded Taylor Fritz by dismissing Ben Shelton in straights. Davidovich Fokina hopes to overturn a 0-3 mark in tour-level finals, with two of those losses coming in the early part of this season that included holding championship points in Delray Beach (l. to Kecmanovic). De Minaur on the other hand, is a win away from celebrating a 10th career crown. The Australian will be a tough out, leading all ATP players with 20 hard-court wins so far in 2025.
