Is this the beginning of the North American hard court season? I
didn't have TTC for a week and the crazy ESPN stations totally
ignored tennis. I didn't see one tennis result for an entire
week. Murder, I tell you.

howdy hercules and company?
good to be checking this forum once in a while.......i am not
posting anywhere these days except sometimes at talk
tennis.......as for toronto 1000 it will be difficult for rafa
to defend the title, cinci too.......rafa should target the us
open again and take it easy with the 1000s.......he doesn't need
to pick up an injury for us open.......last year he was on a
roll, so he won everything.......not this time, this is the time
to take a cautious approach and save himself for the us
open.......

Hola Shank, how's it going? Yep, I agree with you. I think Nadal
should ease up and only focus on USO.
Andy, on the other hand, needs complete opposite focus. He
really needs to do well here and at Cincy. Due to his ranking
drop, he'll have to play the first round here in Toronto, I am
afraid. And I can't even imagine the kind of draw he'll get at
USO. But one tournament at a time.
Nole is probably the most consistent player of all time. He's so
focused all the time and despite all those terrible losses that
I find it utterly amazing.

i am doing fine, emma.......murray needs a lot of time to build
that form and rhythm all over again.......he can target the next
season if you ask me.......as for djoko, he is incredibly
resilient.......nobody was talking about him at wimbledon, he
just put a steady and stern show and took away the title in the
end.......

I think you are right Shank. We may have to write this season
off and look forward to 2015 as far as Murray is concerned. He
does need more time and he's slowly coming around to that.
It will probably end up being a fight between Nole and Rafa for
the rest of the season yet again with Nole edging most of the
time. Rafa has now 3 titles to defend from this point on and
Nole has a few to defend as well after USO including WTF. But
given his fitness and no apparent lack of motivation, he might
as well be up for it.

Hello everybody, yes, it's that time again! After the break
following Wimbledon, 17 of the top 20 men in the world are in
action in Toronto for Rogers Cup. Some of the players have
played in some minor events following Wimbledon, but many of the
top stars were doing interesting things like getting married,
playing tennis in the Alps, relaxing on boats and water off the
Spanish main, or just resting up for the North American hard
courts. Some of us following the sport also took a break and
went off to do other things for a change. ;) But now it's back
to the top level action in the Toronto Rogers Cup Masters 1000,
and happy to be back with the gang at Camelot!
Unfortunately, 3 of the top 20 will be missing from the event,
highest among them, and a bit of a shock withdrawal, 2nd ranked
Rafael Nadal. His team reported he sustained a right wrist
injury during practice and will be out for at least this
tournament and Cincinnati's Western & Southern Open, a real
shame for the defending champion and his legions of fans in both
events. It is unknown at this point whether he will appear in
the US Open, but his doctors are taking it step by step and will
reevaluate as time passes. It would be a real shame if the
stalwart Spanish spartan slayer and defending US Open champion
would be unable to participate there for the second time in 3
years.
2009 US Open champion and still 8th ranked in the world, Juan
Martin del Potro is still recovering from surgery on his left
wrist he had after Dubai, and it seems all is going well. He was
seen hitting his two handed backhand with a splint in place and
he and his fans are hopeful of an earlier return with his good
progress.
The last of the three missing in the top 20 is Alexandr
Dolgopolov who withdrew from Toronto with a knee strain.
So with Nadal withdrawn, everyone under him moves up a notch,
similarly with del Potro and Dolgopolov. This means Roger
Federer is now seeded 2nd in the bottom half of the draw to #1
seeded Novak Djokovic's top half, and #4 seed Tomas Berdych
joins #3 seed Stan Wawrinka as the projected semifinalists.
David Ferrer, Milos Raonic, and Grigor Dimitrov, also move their
seedings up by 1 with Nadal's absence to 5,6, and 7 seeds
respectively, and Andy Murray moves up 2 notches to #8 seed with
del Potro also missing, to take the last projected
quarterfinalist spot.
Main draw below and also in the 1st post of this thread.

At first glance it looks like Novak Djokovic has a fairly tough
draw, but some of the players there like Monfils and Tsonga and
even Murray and Wawrinka haven't been in the best or more
consistent form, while Roger Federer's draw appears fairly good,
but he has a potential array of power players to deal with, like
Janowicz (but out of form) from the start, Cilic, Isner,
Raonic/Gulbis or Berdych, who are always dangerous in best of 3.
Wawrinka's path looks excellent to the quarterfinal with a
potential Dimitrov or Nishikori battle. Berdych looks like a
quarterfinal meeting with Raonic or Gulbis, but Bautista-Agut
can also be troublesome for him. Ferrer looks like he is
heading toward a meeting with Johnny Isner, and Andy Murray has
his work cut out for him, possibly meeting Wimbledon's newest
young Aussie star, 19 year old Nick Kyrgios who upset Rafael
Nadal or Giraldo Santiago, who handled Murray easily on the clay
in Madrid, in his first match. And it doesn't get easier from
there with an in-form Gasquet or Pospisil or even Dr. Ivo
Karlovic. IF he gets by all those players, he'll likely face
Novak Djokovic.
It should be an interesting tournament, but is missing something
with the 3 missing top 20 players. Let's hope they all recover
and get back to playing when they are ready! Good luck and good
health to all the players!
Respectfully,
masterclass

Great to see you back, Masterclass. I was getting worried :).
Bummer about Nadal, but it sets him up for a good 2015, I guess.
I had forgotten about Dogopolov. He has pretty bad luck, too.
Murray has been getting some strange draws lately, it's hard for
him to get any kind of momentum going.
