Montréal, le 17 mai 2011 – C’est aujourd’hui que commençaient les qualifications pour le tableau principal

En levée de rideau, Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, ON) a indiqué la sortie au Slovaque Lukas Lacko (15e) en
deux manches de 6-2 et 6-2. Il accède ainsi au deuxième tour et se mesurera à l’Argentin Eduardo Schwank.
Malheureusement, Peter Polansky (Thornhill, ON) a été incapable d’imiter son compatriote et s’est incliné 6-
7(3), 6-1 et 6-0 face au Polonais Lukasz Kubot, 11e tête de série.
Le premier tour des qualifications chez les femmes s’amorcera demain et trois Canadiennes tenteront de
mériter leur place au grand tableau. Ainsi, Stéphanie Dubois (Laval, QC) sera opposée à la Russe Alexandra
