Former finalist Juan Martin Del Potro is set to begin his run at the Rogers Cup, as he faces veteran Jarkko Nieminen in the opening round.
World No. 20 Juan Martin Del Potro holds a 3-0 series lead over first-round opponent Jarkko Nieminen. The players last met at the 2008 Masters Series Madrid, where the Argentine recorded a second-round victory via retirement.
Del Potro will make his hard-court return following a second-round loss to Ernests Gulbis in Los Angeles. The 22-year-old is 36-10 for the year, having put together title-winning efforts in Delray Beach and Estoril.
World No. 51 Jarkko Nieminen looks to regroup after a third-round loss to Radek Stepanek at the Legg Mason Tennis Classic. The 30-year-old Finn is a modest 13-17 for the season.
Prediction: Del Potro in straight sets.
