A lot of the talk heading into the Olympics has revolved around who's not going to Tokyo to represent Canada, but Felix Auger-Aliassime, Leylah Fernandez, Gaby Dabrowski and Sharon Fichman will be looking to change that narrative.
While the likes of Bianca Andreescu, Denis Shapovalov and Vasek Pospisil have all pulled out of the Summer Games, Canada's four remaining team members will fancy their chances on the biggest stage outside of the ATP and WTA Tours.
Auger-Aliassime, especially, is dreaming big.
"I hope to go all the way," the 20-year-old told the Canadian Press. "To win a medal would be my greatest pride."

Ranked 15th in the world, Auger-Aliassime is easily Canada's best hope to reach the podium. But don't count out World. No. 72 Fernandez on the women's side, as the teenager has shown good form this year and has already claimed a singles title (Monterrey) in 2021.
Additionally, doubles veteran Dabrowski will be teaming up with Fichman to form a dark horse women's doubles team.
