Paris Draw Announced
The draw for the final ATP Masters 1000 event of the season in Paris was announced today. Milos Raonic has drawn the French wildcard Julien Benneteau, who is currently ranked No. 53 in the world. Raonic and Benneteau have yet to meet on the tour, so there is no head-to-head record to compare. Benneteau recently had a few second round exits in the tournaments in Russia, but won the indoor hard court tournament in Rennes, France last month.
Should Raonic advance to the second round, he would meet former US Open champ Andy Roddick. If that wasn't already difficult enough, Raonic could potentially meet Andy Murray in the Round of 16. Roger Federer is also in the same section of the draw.
Good luck, Milos!

I think Milos will be able to beat Roddick. Since Memphis both players have had troubles w/ injury, etc., but Andy more so.
I will be keeping an eye on Federer. With Djoko’s result in Suisse and Nadal out of the draw, he’s a shoe-in, a return to some of his former glory. He is my favorite for the tour finals in London.

I really hope Milos beats Roddick and I think, as you, he can. Milos needs a big win (as Vasek had by beating Isner), just to show him he can and take him in the lead. Paris Indoors is a tournament for him, fast-going. Pete Sampras won it twice whereas he could never win the French Open. As for London, so difficult to forecast in between Federer, Nadal and Murray, though my preferred one is Federer (until Milos can do it !).

same, moi aussi, je crois que Federer sera mon favoris jusqu’il prend son retrait. He’s just so much greater a champion than the others in the running.

In a way, it is a tough draw. But Milos should win against Benneteau and that will give him confidence. Then he’s got a great opportunity to win a return match against Roddick. Milos was so close to winning in Memphis. Roddick is clearly going downward and Milos a rising star. I only hope he is back to the level he had before his injury. As for Murray, Milos will learn by playing against a great champion. Go Milos !

A tough draw for Raonic… rematch of the final in Memphis and then a match against world # 3.
