Dubois, Nestor, Pospisil, Raonic, and Wozniak Will Represent Canada in London
The singles and doubles draws for the 2012 Olympic Games were made on Thursday in London. Canada will have five representatives in the men’s and women’s events.
In men’s singles, Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) will face Tatsuma Ito of Japan in the opening round. Raonic has won three of their four previous meetings. Fresh off his win in Granby last week, Vasek Pospisil (Vancouver, BC), who was granted a wildcard into the singles draw, drew fourth-seeded David Ferrer of Spain in his first match. The two players met last year at the ATP event in Valencia with Ferrer posting a straight sets win. Pospisil will also team up in doubles with Olympic gold medalist Daniel Nestor (Toronto, ON). The Canadian pair will open against the Romanian duo of Horia Tecau and Adrian Ungur.
On the women’s side, Aleksandra Wozniak (Blainville, QC) will begin her Olympics singles campaign against Marina Erakovic of New Zealand. They have split their two previous meetings which both came in 2008. Wozniak will represent Canada in women’s doubles alongside Stéphanie Dubois (Laval, QC). The Canadians were drawn opposite Galina Voskoboeva and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan in the first round.
Matches begin on Saturday at 6:30 a.m. E.T. on the grass courts of the All-England Club, site of Wimbledon. The opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games will be held on Friday.
