Unlucky Nadal falls in Djokovic half in Montreal.

Here we are back to the tournaments of the North American swing that will bring us to the US Open at the end of the month.

The Rogers Cup is orphan of injured Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, but luckily we have all the other top players.

The “big news” is that Rafael Nadal fell in Djokovic half and he is also on a collision path with the terrible Jerzy Janowicz.

The two other “most interesting” new comers had also a tough draw as Bernard Tomic should clash against Djokovic in the second round and Grigor Dimitrov may face also Andy Murray in the second round.

Tommy Haas had a very good draw to play two qualifiers in the first 2 rounds before possibly play Wawrinka in the third.

Here the analysis by quarters.
