Here is a doubles match we found in the archives. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal vs Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil at the Toronto Masters 2010.
Oh and this was a first round doubles match.
p.s. Raonic and Pospisil won 5-7 6-3 10-8.
Here is a great video released by the WTA Tour. Rain or Shine! Features footage from the recent Rogers Cup in Toronto.
In yet another upset, Rafael Nadal was defeated by Ivan Dodig in the second round of the Rogers Cup. Dodig won 1-6 7-6 7-6. This has to be the best win of his career so far!
Nadal was serving for the match at 5-3 in the third set, but was unable to close it out.
It seems like all the seeds are dropping in both the mens and womens draws at the Rogers Cup. Only really Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer left in the mens singles.
Here is a great video from the Rogers Cup in Toronto. They caught up with the top female players in the world to see how they have been preparing for the event and how their holidays have been.
Players in the video: Francesca Schiavone, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Petra Kvitova & Li Na.
Former world number one Venus Williams of the United States has withdrawn from the Rogers Cup, which takes place in Toronto this week.
The withdrawal was caused by illness. She had gone to see a doctor on Sunday, and they confirmed she has got a viral illness. She has stated that she is “extremely disappointed” that it turned out this way and she won’t be able to play, but don’t fret tennis fans because there are many more top players who will feature at this week’s tournament in Toronto. Serena Williams, Kim Clijsters, Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki are just some of the top ladies to headline play this week in Canada.
As a result of Venus’s withdrawal, qualifier Zhang Shuai will step into Williams’ first-round match Tuesday against Ana Ivanovic and Lourdes Dominguez Lino gets the extra spot in the draw.
With the Rogers Cup in Toronto starting today who are the players to watch? With Roger Federer and Raphael Nadal both playing it should really be both of those 2 players in the semi finals, but what other 2 players are going to join them? Looking at the draws I really think we will see both Tommy Haas come through the draw to play Roger in the semi, and I think Wawrinka also has a chance to sneak through the Djokovic section of the draw to play Rafa in the other semi.
Who else might have a chance of making the semi finals in the Rogers Cup? You can find the single drawsheet here.
