I hope he plays Montreal, I have tickets and going to watch the tournament!
Rogers Cup is in such a weird spot on the schedule. Canada and Cincinnati are back to back, and then the one week break before the US open. As a tune-up, Cincy is in by far the better spot.
Not sure what they can really do about it. I guess the best would be to push it one week earlier, but maybe the players enjoy the slight extended summer break between Wimbledon and the hardcourt season.
The only thing keeping my hope to see him in Montreal alive is that he was basically unchallenged in Wimbledon. I'd expect him to be at least physically capable of doing both Canada and Cincy back to back, but the problem these days is likely he'd prefer the extra time to spend with his family.
