Wozniak, Dancevic Injured Just in Time for Rogers Cup

Awesome news Canada. Your top-ranked women's singles player, Aleksandra Wozniak, is suffering from tendinitis in her wrist and has pulled out of tournaments in San Diego and Cincinnati in the hopes that she'll be ready to play at the Rogers Cup in Montreal. Oh yeah, and Frank Dancevic (your only hope on the men's side) is still hurt after cutting his leg on that scoreboard in Atlanta. Something tells me this is not going to be the year that a Canadian wins the Rogers Cup. (Do you like how I pretended that if these two weren't injured that there was a chance a Canadian might win? Yeah, me too.)

Dancevic Back From Injury, Then Cuts Himself on Scoreboard

A few years ago I was really into Frank Dancevic--the first Canadian player to come along in quite some time who actually seemed like he might break into the top 30. Dubbed by some as "the poor man's Federer" (and really, is that such a bad thing to be?), Dancevic reached his highest singles ranking in September 2007 as number 65 in the world.

The biggest win of his career, and the point where people really began to notice him, was when he beat Andy Roddick in the semifinals of the Indianapolis Tennis Championships in 2007. Dancevic went on to back this win up at the Rogers Cup when he beat Del Potro and Verdasco on the way to a quarter final match with Nadal. Dancevic was able to take a set off Nadal (not an easy thing to do), but was unable to beat the world number 2 and he lost the match.
