\"\"<\/p>\n

The Valencia Open 500 for 2011 starts today, 29 October, in the one and only Valencia, Spain.<\/p>\n

Milos Raonic to meet Marin Cilic in the first round at the Valencia Open 500.<\/h3>\n

The order of play isn't available for tomorrow yet, but he is not playing on Saturday for sure.\u00a0 Marin Cilic is playing the final of the St. Petersburg Open (ATP 250) tomorrow against Tipsarevic, so it's a good chance we won't see the Milos-Marin matchup until at least Monday : ), where Cilic (CRO) will definately be feeling tired but confident given his result this week.<\/p>\n

Raonic, on the other hand, has been resting all week in preparation for this tournament (he did not play in either ATP 250 event last week).\u00a0 He is coming from a close loss to Monfils in the semi-finals at Stockholm the week before, so no lack of confidence there either.<\/p>\n

The players have never met before in an ATP World Tour match, and it will be a good one to be sure.\u00a0 If Milos were to win, he could potentially face Dolgopolov in the second round, who is in the same category of young impressive up-and-comers...<\/p>\n

Vasek Pospisil defeated Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) today to advance to the second qualifying round where he will face Pere Riba of Spain.<\/h3>\n

Up next for Vasek Pospisil following his win a couple of hours ago is Pere Riba.\u00a0 This match will most likely be played tomorrow, but again, no timing since we're missing the order of play.<\/p>\n

Update: Vasek Pospisil defeated Pere Riba in qualifying today 6-0 2-1(Ret'd). He will face John Isner (USA) in the first round.<\/h5>\n
