Djokovic,Thiem,Goffin and Wawrinka have withdrawn from National Bank Open Toronto (Rogers Cup) Thiem.Goffin ,Warwrinka's injuries are not fully 100%.
Cilic,Fucsovics,Fritz,Ramos-Vinolas will move into the main draw.

Since all of the rest are injuries, interesting about Djokovic, since Rafa is playing it, but not Cincy. Perhaps avoiding him until USO? Expecting Novak to play Cincy?

I expect Novak to play Cinncy as a warm up for the USO.

And Gasquet would know. Having played Rafa since they were 11, I think. 12, definitely.

Roger needs the match play! Getting knocked out early in both Halle and Wimbledon didn't exactly exhaust the man even though approaching 40!
