A disappointing performance from Viktor Troicki in the last eight in Washington put paid to our hopes in the Legg Mason Classic and we move on swiftly to the first Masters event of the north American hard-court swing.
The Rogers Cup takes place in Montreal this year and as usual it boasts all of the big names in men’s tennis (apart from the injured Andy Roddick and Robin Soderling), with Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer andAndy Murray all making their first tournament appearances since Wimbledon.
And the omens are good that one of the aforementioned four will take home the title in Montreal this week.
Since 2004, the Rogers Cup has always been won by a top four ranked player – the only ATP Masters 1000 event that has such a record – and Murray is looking for his own piece of history this week.
Two-time defending champion, Murray, will become the first player since Ivan Lendl to win three Rogers Cups in a row if he comes out on top this week and he has been handed a decent draw in which to do just that.
The draw in Montreal has a very similar feel to it as the Wimbledon draw did, with Murray alongside Nadal, Tomas Berdych and Mardy Fish, and new world number one Djokovic with Federer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Juan Martin Del Potro.
