Vasek Pospisil to face John Isner in 1st round at Valencia

Vasek Pospisil (CAN) is up fourth in the afternoon on the "Agora" court at the Valencia Open 500 against American John Isner.  The afternoon matches start at 1pm CET and assuming 2 hours per match, Vasek's start time will be about 2 pm Eastern Time tomorrow, 31 October.  (Order of Play)

John and Vasek have yet to meet on the tour, but the difference in rankings tells us that Vasek has a tough match ahead of him.  A tough draw all around for the Canadians (Milos plays Cilic in the 1st round) in Valencia but it's not like either of our two entries in the main draw have failed to surprise us before!  Go Vasek!

UPDATE: Vasek Pospisil defeated John Isner (USA) in a hard fought three set match, 6-3 3-6 7-6(9).

Pospisil will face the winner of the Ferrer vs Verdasco match which will be decided tomorrow. Milos Raonic isn't scheduled to play on Tuesday, so no doubt his match with Cilic will be played on Wednesday, Nov. 2. The tournament organizers are no doubt taking Cilic's victory in St. Petersburg into account and are giving him some extra days off before he has to play again.

  1. Bravooooooooooooo ! Vasek did it ! Isner out ! And now Milos to win !!!!! Bravo pour Vasek !

  2. Galo Blanco, Milos Raonic’s coach, received a Spanish award as coach of the year. I love his message to Milos on Twitter : “@milosraonic u know without u I couldn’t get this award;))) My ego past away when I retired in 2006. Thanks to @rptenis for the award!” Happy also to see that tennis ethics is part of his training at the Academy he runs. With him, Milos is on the good track ! Go Milos (and Vasek, of course) !
