Bruno Agostinelli, new to the pros after winning the decider in the Davis Cup for Peru, has started the long path of earning ATP points:

Having been in the NCAA, he didn't have any until weeks ago.
Let's hope for a WC in Montreal, he deserves it!

Canadian WCs for Rogers
Frank Dancevic, Peter Polansky et Frédéric Niemeyer get WCs into the main draw.
http://www.rds.ca/intercanada/chroniques/279696.html
(in French)
Pierre-Ludovic Duclos, Bruno Agostinelli, Milos Raonic et Vasek Pospisil get WC for the Qs.
I'm sorry to see Bruno Agostinelli didn't get an entry in the main draw, in the end he saved the team (and the country, tennis-wise) in the Davis Cup in the 5th match with Peru.
I understand he will have to pay his dues in the pros and get a better ATP ranking, but I'm sure something could have been done as a special case.
Let's hope he'll qualify anyway.

I know Niemeyer is an old vet and Davis Cup warrior, but does he still need a WC. He should have done what Nestor did, and stop accepting them. Guys like Ranoic and Popisil should get the 3rd Canadian WC

Let's celebrate Frederic Niemeyer
Frederic Niemeyer has been for many years a top (and at times the top) Canadian player, and a stalwart member of our Davis Cup team.
This is probably a dream for him, to play in his farewell tournament the top player in the world, in front of the home crowd, on center court in Montreal, where he has spent so many hours training.
Bravo, Frederic, and thanks!
Nice to have Yahoo talking about him:

Canada’s Frederic Niemeyer advances in Montreal
MONTREAL (AP)—Frederic Niemeyer, a Canadian ranked No. 487, enjoyed an upset before a home crowd Monday by defeating Russia’s Igor Kunitsyn 7-5, 6-1 in the first round of the Rogers Cup.
Niemeyer will not have long to enjoy his victory over his No. 39-ranked opponent. He next faces Roger Federer, who will be playing his first match since winning Wimbledon on July 6.
“It will be an honor to play Roger in front of this crowd,” said Niemeyer, a 33-year-old Quebecer playing his final season of professional tennis. “He’s the greatest player of all time, so to finish against him will be special. Or to beat him.”
Federer has been off the tour to attend to the July 23 birth of his twin daughters. Niemeyer lost to the top-ranked Swiss 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in 1998.
“I also played a tournament when my daughter was 2 weeks, and I didn’t sleep very much that week,” Niemeyer said. “He has two (kids), so hopefully he doesn’t sleep at all.”
Niemeyer rallied to make it 5-5 in the first set and was up 40-love when he hit his left knee with his racket on an overhead volley.
“I was like, ‘Please, don’t end like this,”’ he said. “The pain was very sharp at first, but it slowly went away.”
Niemeyer recovered to go up 6-5 and closed out the set 7-5. He surrendered only 15 points and lost only one game in the second set.
“In previous years, I was trying to impress or trying to prove too much or trying to play too well,” he said. “But I actually never played too well here.”
In another first-round match, Croatia’s Marin Cilic failed to take advantage of his booming serve and lost to Russia’s Mikhail Youzhny 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-1.
The 6-foot-6 Cilic, seeded 14th, made only 50 percent of his first serves. This was the second straight hardcourt tournament that Cilic did not win a match. He lost to No. 153 Somdev Devvarman of India in Washington last week.
Germany’s Rainer Schuettler defeated Florent Serra of France 6-4, 6-0. Schuettler will face seventh-seeded Jo-Wilfred Tsonga of France in the second round.
Russia’s Igor Andreev advanced when countryman Dmitry Tursonov quit with the score 5-5 in the first set because of an injured left ankle.

Great to see at leas two Canadians into the second round I hope Frank can pull it off tonight. I like his chances against Simon, if he gets his serve and attacking game going he could give Simon a very hard time. Dancevic seems to have more problems with the power baseliners like Tursonov or Safin types than he does with the grinders like Simon. It looks like this is going to be Simon's first hardcourt match this summer and he hasn't been on top form lately, hopefully this has the makings of an upset.

Great showing in a Canadian fiesta by Milos Raonic against Gonzo
I feel Milos Raonic really came of age in this great match.
After beating two very respectable top 100 players, Gabashvili and Llodra, in the qualifying, this was to be a night of proof by fire against a great pro such as Fernando Gonzalez.
The atmosphere on the court 1 in Montreal was amazing, with a large influx of late spectators coming in from the Federer Niemeyer on centre court, all of them stunned by the composure, serving and the hitting of this new kid on the block for most of them, confronting a very dangerous veteran and staying with him and beating him in long exchanges.
Standing ovations for Raonic, chants by Chilean supporters, it was all very hot, one of the best nights I remember in Canadian tennis.
Raonic's slice was way better than I remembered it to be and very effective. I was surprised to see how clever he was in using it in taking Gonzalez's pace and moving him around.
Surprisingly good volleying (except on that unlucky one in the TB of the 2nd set, when he gave the match away:-[).
Let's hope he and Tennis Canada will know how to use the momentum.

What a performance by Raonic! Really thought he played an extremely intelligent match. His mental composure for someone 18 years old is unbelievable. I'd love to hook my 14 year old son with whoever coaches Raonic to see if some of this mental fortitude skills might take hold. Rock solid performance by the kid last night.

Rogers Cup 2010 Toronto: Uninspired Scheduling for Raonic
I support the organizing committee for giving WCs to all the Canadians who got them.
However, scheduling Milos Raonic to play against Victor Hanescu at 11AM on grandstand wasn't the most brilliant move.
I mean, why deny the Canadian hopeful the support of the gallery? At that time of the day, so early in the tournament, it was expected the stands to be mostly empty, which they were.
Have they forgotten the enthusiastic support they got from the evening crowd for Raonic in the match one year ago in Montreal against Gonzalez?
Even later in the day would have been better.

And I give him a chance there
Nadal will next meet Canadian qualifier Milos Raonic, who hit 22 aces
past Florent Serra of France in a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 win in one hour and 43
minutes. Raonic, 19, also saved six of seven break points.

Raonic will be getting next week to something like #150, from #237 where
he was two weeks ago.
Congratulations, Milos!

Raonic next week
He didn't get in the Q in Shanghai (too late at #150 ...), so he plays this challenger:
http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2010/4012/mds.pdf
BTW, he played very well with Nadal, I was impressed.
Hits a quite flat ball from both sides (Nadal didn't like it), very effective volleys. His 2HBH is more effective in cross than DTL for the time being.
Not too much straight S-V (perhaps less confident on his first step into the court), but a lot of 1-2s.
He had 3-4 BP against Nadal, didn't materialize.
Very heavy serving, when accurate was deadly against Nadal (225Km/h).
The only prob: movement to his left, to be expected being this tall
Needs lots of work there, on the motion.

Raonic beats (2) seed in Tashkent Challenger, now in QF
Fin. M. Raonic 6 7
S. Devvarman 4 6
Beats the Indian flag-bearer and another top-100:
Somdev Devvarman, who won the Commonwealth Games singles gold medal in Delhi last week, is up to a career-high No. 95 in the South African Airways 2010 ATP Rankings and is the second seed in Tashkent this week. The Indian will attempt to win his second ATP Challenger Tour title in two months after victory in Izmir.
Karol Beck is tough, but ...

At least 25 ATP points (about 2 ranking places, where he is)
Go, Milos!
