Canada now has two players in the world's top 10 in doubles, after Vasek Pospisil's win at Indian Wells

Beyond Milos Raonic's semi-final effort in the singles of the BNP Paribas Open last week, there were plenty of other Canadian good-news stories coming out of the tennis world.

The first is that with his title at Indian Wells, Vasek Pospisil is now No. 8 in the world in the ATP Tour doubles rankings. He joins Daniel Nestor, ranked No. 5 at age 42, to give Canada two players in the top 10.

Add Raonic at No. 6 in the men's singles, and Genie Bouchard at No. 7 in the WTA women's singles rankings, it's a pretty historic Monday.

They weren't the only Canadians to do well.

Niagara Falls' Frank Dancevic, who qualified for main draw at the Indian Wells event, went from the heat of the California desert to the chilly climes of Drummondville, Que., about an hour outside Montreal, for the inaugural Banque Nationale Challenger.

Despite having to acclimatize to major changes – from high heat, flying tennis balls and slow outdoor courts to winter cold and a quick indoor court, Dancevic still managed to reach the finals of both the singles and doubles.

He lost to Aussie John-Patrick Smith in a barnburner of a singles final, 6-7 (11), 7-6 (3), 7-5.

The combination of the two results allowed Dancevic's singles ranking to leap 23 spots, to No. 143.

Dancevic reached the doubles final with partner Frank Moser of Germany (a veteran doubles specialist). And that meant his doubles ranking leaped 63 spots, to No. 276. Still nothing to brag about there, but an impressive effort.

Dancevic and Moser lost to another Canadian, Philip Bester, and partner Chris Guccione of Australia.

With that win, Bester's doubles ranking jumped 141 spots, to No. 304. He also jumped 41 spots in singles to finally get back inside the top 400 Bester, who was a pretty hot prospect as a junior, has had a star-crossed pro career that has been beset by injuries. He won a Futures event in Italy in late February and followed that up the next week with a final at a similar event in Gatineau.

Here's a little bit on his journey.
