The top seeds don't play in Toronto until Wednesday. Toronto and Cincy are also Masters 1000 events, and can't be skipped.
If I'm not mistaken, all of the top 4 have each won Toronto twice, and it's...

The bigger barrier may turn out to be the grip size. I would probably ask who his favorite player is, and get the jr. or 0-1 grip version of the "light" racket in question. Specs are usually pretty...

Depending on where the pain is, this could be something minor or very serious. If, by your hip, you mean the widest part of your lateral thigh, it's likely trochanteric bursitis or an iliotibial band...

It's a draw i.e. other than the top seeds, players' spots are basically drawn randomly.
The only reason this was an "easy" draw for Nadal is because he's so insanely good on red clay.
