Safin Awarded Wild Card into Toronto

Former World number one Marat Safin has been awarded a wild card into the Rogers Cup, an ATP Masters Series event, which will be contested from July 21-27 at the Rexall Centre in Toronto. Canadians Frank Dancevic, Frederic Niemeyer and Peter Polansky will also be among the 56 players competing at the hard-court tournament.

“We are thrilled to add Marat, Frank, Fred and Pete to the main draw of Rogers Cup,” said tournament director Karl Hale. “They will add excitement and high-level tennis to one of the best player fields in the world.”

Safin, who beat Israeli qualifier Harel Levy in the 2000 Rogers Cup final, beat Top 10 players Novak Djokovic and Stanislas Wawrinka en route to The Championships semifinals at Wimbledon last week.

“I’m excited to return to Toronto where I had my breakthrough on tour in 2000,” said Safin, who clinched the 2000 US Open and 2005 Australian Open crowns. “I am grateful to Tennis Canada for giving me the wild card and after a great Wimbledon, I feel that I will be a strong competitor at Rogers Cup.”

The 23-year-old Dancevic, who is currently No. 99 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings, was a quarterfinalist at the Rogers Cup last year (l. to Nadal). Dancevic, a native of Niagara Falls, also reached the Indianapolis final (l. to Tursunov).

The 32-year-old Niemeyer, who will join world No. 1 Daniel Nestor as the Canadian doubles team at the Olympics Games in Beijing next month, will compete at the ATP Masters Series event for the 11th time. Polansky is a 20-year-old from Thornhill, Ontario.

The Rogers Cup is owned by Tennis Canada and is celebrating its 127th anniversary.

Safin out of Kooyong Classic

Former world number one Marat Safin has withdrawn from the invitational Kooyong Classic with a shoulder injury.

Safin was replaced in the eight-man field for the Melbourne contest by Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic.

World number two Roger Federer, who missed last year's event due to what later transpired to be glandular fever, headlines the field, which also includes his Swiss compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka.

The duo combined to win gold in the doubles at last year's Beijing Olympics.

Spain's Fernando Verdasco, Marcos Baghdatis - the 2006 Australian Open finalist - Croatia's Marin Cilic, Chile's Fernando Gonzalez and Spain's Carlos Moya make up the rest of the field.

Play in the tournament, which guarantees each of the entrants three matches, begins on Wednesday.
