Wait Djokovic or Federer in the final, but along the way, Nadal can be crossed with a whole bunch of experts on the hard ground of the tournament
As it did in 2005 and 2008, Rafael Nadal arrives in Canada to win. Today starts the Masters 1000 in Canada, and Spanish, from atop the ATP rankings, looks down with a large cushion of points but a state of mistrust still so unreliable, and the fear of a relatively easy on paper. Wait Djokovic or Federer in the final, but along the way, Nadal can be crossed with a whole bunch of experts on the hard ground of the tournament. Wawrinka is postulated as a rival to start, and Sam Querrey and Andy Roddick may be opposites in eighths and quarters, respectively. Even the Scot Murray, defending champion, it would appear, a priori, just before the final.
Rafa Nadal, who landed just over a month after winning Wimbledon and apparently recovered from his battered knees, try to chain his fourth consecutive Masters 1000 season after his victories over the land of Monte Carlo, Rome and Madrid. In addition, the Spaniard double in this edition, which will play the doubles also as a couple of world number two, Novak Djokovic.
In turn, David Ferrer will have the main course to begin in Toronto against Argentina's David Nalbandian, while Robredo, Feliciano, Almagro and Verdasco are rivals more affordable in the first round.
