Djokovic Bids for 30Th Masters 1000 Title Vs ROGERS CUP presented by National Bank: DAY 7 MEDIA NOTES Sunday, July 31, 2016 Aviva Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada | July 25-31, 2016 Draw: S-56, D-24 | Prize Money: $4,089,740 | Surface: Outdoor Hard ATP Info: Tournament Info: ATP PR & Marketing: www.ATPWorldTour.com www.RogersCup.com Maria Garcia-Planas: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour Twitter: @RogersCup / #RogersCup Edward La Cava: [email protected] Facebook: @ATPWorldTour Facebook: @RogersCup Kate Flory: [email protected] Instagram: @ATPWorldTour Instagram: @RogersCupTO Press Room: +1-416-650-7873 DJOKOVIC BIDS FOR 30TH MASTERS 1000 TITLE VS. NISHIKORI World No. 1 Novak Djokovic plays for his fourth Rogers Cup and record-extending 30th ATP Masters 1000 title against sixth-ranked Kei Nishikori on Sunday. The Serbian superstar has swept eight straight meetings with Nishikori, including a 6-3, 6-3 win in the ATP Masters 1000 Miami final. Djokovic has won 10 titles and reached 14 finals in his last 15 ATP Masters 1000 appearances, all of which have come during his run of 108 consecutive weeks atop the Emirates ATP Rankings. Nishikori beat World No. 5 Stan Wawrinka to advance to the final, snapping a 16-match losing streak against Top 5 opponents that dated back to his win over Djokovic at the 2014 US Open. While Djokovic bids for his 30th ATP Masters 1000 crown, Nishikori seeks the biggest title of his career. He fell to Rafael Nadal in the 2014 ATP Masters 1000 Madrid final after leading 6-2, 4-2, finished runner-up to Marin Cilic at the 2014 US Open, and lost to Djokovic in Miami on April 3. Six days before the start of the Rio Olympics, Brazilian medal hopes Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares will be opponents in the Rogers Cup doubles final. Melo and Ivan Dodig, the 2015 Roland Garros champions, will meet Soares and Jamie Murray, the reigning Australian Open champions. Soares has an 11-6 FedEx ATP Head 2 Head doubles record against his countryman Melo, including a win with Murray over Dodig and Melo in the ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo semi-finals. Soares and ex-partner Alexander Peya defeated Dodig and Melo en route to the 2013 Rogers Cup title and again in the 2014 Rogers Cup final. As teammates, Melo and Soares are 10-2 in Davis Cup and 82-56 overall with four titles, highlighted by a 1-6, 6-4, 24-22 win over Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek to reach the quarter-finals at the 2012 London Olympics. But the Brazilians went 3-3 in ATP World Tour events this season at Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Washington.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

Mahut begins his busy day at 11 am against countryman Paul Henri-Mathieu. The Frenchmen were born nine days apart in 1982 and live in Boulogne-Billancourt. But despite their proximity in age and residence, Mahut and Mathieu have only met twice on the ATP World Tour. The older Mathieu leads 2-0 in their FedEx ATP Head 2 Head rivalry. Mahut is enjoying a milestone week in ’s-Hertogenbosch. The two-time champion began his title defense with a win over qualifier Lukas Lacko on Monday, the same day that he became the second World No. 1 from France in doubles or singles. Mahut joined Hall-of-Famer Yannick Noah, who spent 19 weeks atop the Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings during the 1986 and 1987 seasons. Because his regular partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert is playing singles in Stuttgart this week, Mahut is teaming with World No. 10 Rohan Bopanna for the first time. They make their debut Wednesday in the third match on Court 1.
