Toronto: Roger Federer cruised to a 6-2 6-0 victory over wild card Peter Polansky in the second round of the Rogers Cup, while Ernest Gulbis, Richard Gasquet and Fabio Fognini also advanced in the US Open warm up yesterday.
Federer needed just 52 minutes to eliminate Canada’s Polansky, who beat 2013 Wimbledon finalist Jerzy Janowicz on Monday. The second-seeded Federer had a bye into the second round.
Gulbis moved into the second round with a 6-3 6-4 win against Joao Sousa of Portugal. Gasquet beat local favorite Vasek Popisil 7-5 7-5, and Fognini defeated Russia’s Mikhail Youzhny, 6-4 6-3.
“He has an extra motivation because it’s being home,” Gasquet said of Popisil. “It’s the same when I’m playing in France. But yes he had big expectations on him, especially here in Toronto.”(AP)
