It's pretty hard in the earlier rounds because of the sheer number of players. ESPN generally only has the well-known players on tv broadcasts, with many of the other matches streaming live on their websites. TSN takes ESPN's feed and that's why we didn't get to see all of Raonic's match on tv last night. TSN streams all of the courts on their website and the streams don't use the ESPN broadcast. They instead use local Aussie broadcasters or other international broadcasts, depending on the tournament. I'd say that's your best bet to see your favorite player, but I know that's not an option for some folks because they are using their PVRs.

TSN only covers the Rogers Cup, where the Canadian players all get a chance to have at least one match aired.

Because we have now reached the quarterfinals, you'll probably be able to see every match on TSN (ESPN's broadcast).
