Cleeve is playing in his first ATP Tour event - National Bank Open (Canadian Open) tonight with his partner Liam Draxl. They take on Fognini and Bolleli in the second match after 6:30 pm on Court Rogers! Flashback to 2018 when Cleeve was a junior at the academy and he won (with Liam Draxl) the Grade 2 ITF held at the same site in Montreal! It’s all coming full circle and now he gets to play in the pro event! Good luck tonight Cleeve! We will be rooting hard for you! 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟 (a shout out to coach Julian who took CLeeve to the Montreal ITF)
