Richard Gasquet and Ivan Ljubicic defeated the doubles team of Nicolas Almagro and Milos Raonic in straight sets today, 6-3 6-2. The match took less than an hour.<\/p>\n
Of course, Raonic is still alive in the main singles draw and will face Ernests Gulbis<\/a> in the second round at Monte-Carlo<\/a>. The two have never played at the ATP World Tour level, so there is no head-to-head record to compare. According to the order of play<\/a>, their match will be played last on Court Central on Tuesday.<\/p>\n As for watching the matches in Canada, Rogers Sportsnet<\/a> will begin showing Monte-Carlo on Friday, April 15. Starting today, they are streaming the matches online here<\/a>. However they are not showing the matches live, presumably because of the time zone difference. This is probably a good thing for tennis fans out west in Canada, as well as for the laziest of us on the east coast who aren't exactly morning people.<\/em><\/p>\n -multi Richard Gasquet and Ivan Ljubicic defeated the doubles team of Nicolas Almagro and Milos Raonic in straight sets today, 6-3 6-2.
