At Indian Wells, it was Federer who put Raonic out on his way to winning a record setting 19th ATP Masters 1000 tournament. This week it could be Andy Murray who proves to be an insurmountable obstacle. But neither player has secured their spot in the third round yet.<\/p>\n<p>Frank Dancevic made it through qualifying and faces Jeremy Chardy (FRA) in the first round today. Milos and his doubles partner Kevin Anderson (RSA) are taking on the French doubles team of Nicolas Mahut and Gilles Simon just before Dancevic takes the court. It is a funny coincidence that Canadian players all have French opponents given the recent Davis Cup World Group tie.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that Sportsnet ONE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/tvschedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">coverage<\/a> begins on Sunday, March 25 at 11AM EST.
