Roger Federer receives tough draw at Rogers Cup

In the bottom half of the draw, Roger Federer could face a stiff challenge in his opening match as well, as Jerzy Janowicz will be his opponent if he gets by Canadian wild card Peter Polansky.


Federer defeated Janowicz in the pair’s only career battle in Rome last year, but they have never played on a hard court.

Federer could face Marin Cilic in the third round, and David Ferrer in the quarterfinals. If he reaches the semis, the Swiss maestro’s semifinal opponent could be Tomas Berdych, Milos Raonic or Ernests Gulbis.


Andy Murray’s second-round match could also be challenging, as the 2012 U.S. Open champion could end up facing wild card Nick Kyrgios or Santiago Giraldo. Kyrgios, the man who defeated top-seeded Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon, is the highest-ranked teenager on the ATP Tour, and the only one in the top 100 at No. 69 in the world.


Main draw play in Toronto begins Monday. Federer is slated to play his first match on Tuesday, while Djokovic and Murray will begin their campaigns on Wednesday. - See more at:
