Gulbis shocks Murray as Nadal enters final 8
Print Edition
The second-seeded Murray, a two-time Rogers Cup champion, was playing his second match since his Wimbledon victory and lost 6-4, 6-3 to Ernests Gulbis. The defeat ended the Scot’s winning streak at 13 matches.
Top-seeded defending champion Djokovic avoided an upset in the last match of the day, overcoming Uzbekistan’s Denis Istomin 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. Djokovic will next face seventh-seeded Richard Gasquet of France, a 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 winner over ninth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan.
Nadal won his third round match, beating Poland’s Jerzy Janowicz 7-6 (6), 6-4.
Nadal, the fourth-seeded Spanish star making his first tournament appearance since losing in the first round at Wimbledon, improved his ATP Tour-leading record to 45-3 — including 7-0 on hardcourts.
“I had a very good victory today against a very difficult opponent,” Nadal said about the 6-foot-8 Janowicz. “His serve is huge. His forehand and backhand can be very dangerous.”
The Rogers Cup winner in 2005 and 2008, Nadal will next meet Australia’s Marinko Matosevic, a 7-6 (7), 6-7 (10), 6-3 winner over France’s Benoit Paire.
Canadians Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil advanced, the first time in 24 years two Canadians reached the quarterfinals in the home event.
Raonic, seeded 11th, upset sixth-seeded Juan Martin Del Potro 7-5, 6-4. Del Potro was upset that Raonic got away with touching the net with his hand on break point in the eighth game of the second set.
“Very upset after the match I lost,” Del Portro tweeted. “About the end ... everyone saw what happened.”
Raonic said the point was too important to call a foul on himself.
“I was fortunate that the line judge didn’t see it,” he said. “It’s the exact same thing as having no challenges left and you get a bad line call. It’s bad luck. It was hard to be able to take this point on such a big point.”
Raonic will play Gulbis in the quarterfinals.
Pospisil beat fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 7-5, 2-6, 7-6 (5) for his first victory over an opponent ranked in the top 10.
Pospisil gets a match against Nikolay Davydenko, who downed fellow Russian Alex Bogomolov Jr. 6-4, 6-3.
