19 of the world’s top 20 players to play Rogers Cup presented by National Bank

Spoiler:

Rogers Cup presented by National Bank, which takes place August 4-12 at the Aviva Centre, is confirmed to feature World No. 1 Rafael Nadal and Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic as part of 19 of the Top 20 players in the world. “I have happy memories from winning the title in Toronto in 2016 and it’s always a highlight on my calendar,” said Djokovic. “The tournament looks after us so well and the fans are always passionate about their tennis. After a dream run at Wimbledon, I’m really motivated going into the hard-court season so I look forward to defending my Toronto title.”

Tournament director Karl Hale confirmed that World No.1 and three-time Rogers Cup champion Rafael Nadal will play his first match in Toronto on Wednesday night (August , with Canadian No.1 Denis Shapovalov scheduled to play in the Tuesday night session (August 7). “I’m really looking forward to being back in Toronto this summer,” said Nadal. “I always love playing in Canada and I hope to see the fans out in force for my first match on Wednesday night.”

Jeremy Chardy of France will take Federer’s place in the main draw. Former World No.1 and three-time Rogers Cup champion Andy Murray, who is working his way back from a long-term hip injury, has received a wild card into the tournament. Murray will return to Toronto for the first time since 2014, with the remaining wild card recipients to be announced in due course.

“We are excited to have nine of the top 10 on the ATP World Tour at the Rogers Cup, but it’s unfortunate that we won’t have Roger in Toronto this summer,” said Hale. “With current world No. 1 Rafael Nadal, Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic plus Toronto’s hometown heroes in Milos and Denis legitimate title threats, this year’s entry list is one of the most exciting in recent memory. With the improvements we have made around the site and the festival of events we have planned, fans are in for a real treat.”

“I’m so disappointed not to play at the Rogers Cup this summer,” said Roger Federer, who will not be participating in the 2018 tournament as announced by Hale today. “I had a fantastic time in Montreal last year and always enjoy playing in front of the Canadian fans, but unfortunately with scheduling being the key to my longevity moving forward, I have regrettably decided to withdraw from Toronto this year. I wish the tournament every success and am sorry to miss it.”

The official draw ceremony for the 56-player field will take place in downtown Toronto on the afternoon of August 3. In a historic first, the Toronto subway (TTC) will now bring tennis fans directly from downtown Toronto to the Rogers Cup. With the extension of Line One, Pioneer Village Station is a five-minute walk from the stadium, making it easier than ever for fans to reach the Aviva Centre.

Daniel Nestor, the legendary Canadian doubles player who will play in his 30th and final Rogers Cup this summer, will be honoured in a two-part celebration at Roy Thomson Hall on Sunday, August 5. A host of current and former ATP players, including Murray and Shapovalov, will take part in a roast led by Shaun Majumder, followed by Nestor’s emotional induction into the Canadian Tennis Hall of Fame.

Fed zapewnił wszystkim dodatkowy tydzień spokoju.

[Damian]

Stan w Toronto rozpocznie turniej od kwalifikacji - podaje jedna ze szwajcarskich gazet.

Oznaczałoby to, że Szwajcar dostanie dziką kartę do turnieju kwalifikacyjnego, zamiast do turnieju głównego. Sam zainteresowany nie przejmuje się tym faktem, gdyż jak sam zauważa potrzebuje meczów.

[DUN I LOVE]

Tak, kolejna tego typu wypowiedź Stana, jakiś czas temu wspomniał, że jak zajdzie potrzeba to zagra w CH. Trzeba oddać, że nie gwiazdorzy.

[Federasta20]

Del Potro zamierza grać debla z Fogninim w Kanadzie. Uspokoiło się zdrowotnie to zaczynają się różne wymysły, oby tylko nie przeholował, bo u niego to aż strach, a przywrócił karierę na naprawdę fajne tory.

Seppi chyba kolejny w kolejce do emerytury.

Nie wiem co się z Włochem dzieje, ale widziałem go koło 30 miejsca w ATP Race, co jest bardzo solidną pozycję jak na tenisistę, który ledwo zaliczył Top 20 i nigdy nie był w QF Szlema.

[DUN I LOVE]

Ch w Canberze, półfinały Rotterdamu i Budapesztu go trochę wywindowały do Top-30 race, ale coraz częściej zdrowie daje mu w kość.

[Federasta20]

Można powiedzieć, że wyniki odzwierciedlają jego karierę. Poza Melbourne (mecz z Reynoldsem do 3:30 w 2007, eliminacja Federera, spotkania z Kyrgiosem i lustrzane odbicia z nim) to niewiele z niego zapamiętamy. Jedynie co przychodzi mi na myśl to RG'12 i mecz z Djoko. Co w nim widziało Virtua Tennis, że go wsadzili jako postać, biorąc pod uwagę, że tylko ten nocny mecz na AO miał miejsce przed premierę gry?

On Monday, Tennis Canada announced the names of the seeds for the 2018 edition of Rogers Cup presented by National Bank in Montreal and Toronto. The ATP and WTA World No.1s will come first in their respective draws, as Rafael Nadal headlines in Toronto and Simona Halep leads the field in Montréal. The seedings will follow the official ATP World Tour and WTA rankings released today (Monday, July 30) with the Top 16-ranked players entered in each tournament being seeded. The Top 8 seeds will receive a first-round bye.

“We have an outstanding field in Toronto this year with 19 of the Top 20 ATP players in the world and we can’t wait to welcome them back to our city,” said Karl Hale, Rogers Cup Toronto tournament director. “Men’s tennis has never been more competitive and with Andy Murray a wild card and Novak Djokovic as No.9 seed, we will have exciting match-ups right from round one this year. We can’t wait to see who will bring their best form to Toronto and be crowned our 2018 Rogers Cup champion.”

The winner of the 2005, 2008 and 2013 Rogers Cup events, Nadal will be out to claim a fourth title. In 2017, he was caught off guard in the third round by Canadian Denis Shapovalov, who will try to recreate last season’s magic. Alexander Zverev is seeded second and hopes to defend his hard-earned title from Montréal. The ninth seed, Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic, is also one to keep a close eye on.

“I have happy memories from my time on court and outside the court in Toronto and it’s always a highlight on my calendar,” said Djokovic. “The tournament looks after us so well and the fans are always passionate about their tennis. After a dream run at Wimbledon, I’m really motivated going into the hard-court season so I look forward to enjoying my time there.”

In Montréal, Simona Halep will be on the hunt for her second Canadian title, after bringing home the trophy in 2016. She faces dangerous rivals including 2010 champion Caroline Wozniacki (2). Halep and Wozniacki, who won their first Grand Slam titles this season, will battle the likes of Wimbledon finalists Angelique Kerber and Serena Williams. Williams will be setting her sights on winning her first crown since returning to the game after the birth of her daughter.

“We’re gearing up for another phenomenal week,” said Eugène Lapierre, tournament director of Rogers Cup in Montréal. “We’re ready for another dream tournament after last year’s exceptional edition and are eagerly awaiting the best players on the women’s circuit on the courts at IGA Stadium. Superstars like Simona Halep, local favourites like Eugenie Bouchard, remarkable returning champions like Serena Williams and emerging talents like Daria Kasatkina are sure to impress. The final preparations are underway to provide players and fans with a memorable experience.”

In Toronto, 16 of the top 17 players make up the 16 seeds. In Montréal, the Top 16 are all on hand.

The official draws of both tournaments to determine the roadmap of potential matches for the week ahead will be held on Friday, August 3.
