MONTREAL -- Jesse Levine made his first Rogers Cup match as a Canadian a memorable one. His second one promises to be one he will never forget. Levine defeated Belgiums Xavier Malisse 6-4, 7-6 (3) on Monday night to advance to the second round of the tournament, where the 25-year-old left hander will take on eight-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal. Levine, who was born in Nepean, Ont., moved to Florida in his teens and played as an American until recently. He has faced Nadal once before, also in the second round of the 2008 Rogers Cup in Toronto. "I remember I got off to a really, really good start," said Levine, who began playing as a Canadian in December. "I was up 4-1 in the first set. Then I was kind of sitting on the changeover. I remember kind of looking at the scoreboard and saying, Theres something wrong about that." Nadal fought off two break points and roared back for a 6-4, 6-2 win over Levine on July 23, 2008. Levine had a rooting section behind him against Malisse on Monday night as family and friends made the two-hour drive from Ottawa to Montreal to see him on the court. But Levine said hes not exactly used to seeing so many familiar faces in the stands. "Its a rare feeling to have family and friends there at a tournament because we travel all over the world playing different tournaments," he said. "Rarely is it so close to home so for me it was really special. "The crowd was getting behind me at some crucial moments in the match. It was really nice. I cant imagine what it would be like to play on even the bigger court. Hopefully Ill get that feeling and it will help me out." Levine can expect a larger crowd behind him when he takes on the 12-time Grand Slam champion Nadal Wednesday. Levine is one of five Canadians remaining in the main draw after Peter Polansky became the first to fall out of the mens tournament. Polansky, who qualified over the weekend, won the opening set of his centre-court match against ninth-seed Kei Nishikori of Japan before an enthusiastic crowd at Uniprix Stadium. He took a 2-0 lead in the second set but ultimately fell, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in just over two hours. "Its possible thats when my intensity dropped a little bit, almost like a sense of relief that I had an opportunity and it dropped just enough to let him back in," Polansky said. Germanys Florian Mayer defeated Bernard Tomic of Australia, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. Mayer will face top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the second round. Milos Raonic, who is seeded 11th, will face Frances Jeremy Chardy in one of four singles matches involving Canadians on Tuesday. Vasek Pospisil takes on John Isner, the lone American in the main draw. Fellow Canadian wild-cards Frank Dancevic and Filip Peliwo will also play their first-round matches. Dancevic faces Taiwans Lu Yen-Hsun and Peliwo takes on Jarkko Nieminen of Finland. The six Canadians in the main draw were the most since 1987 when there were seven, including current Davis Cup captain Martin Laurendeau and Stephane Bonneau, one of four Quebec tennis players inducted into the Rogers Cup Hall of Fame prior to the evenings matches. Pospisil won the Odlum Brown VanOpen final on Sunday. The 23-year-old Vancouver native fought off three match-point opportunities against Britains Daniel Evans and rallied from a 1-4 deficit in the final set for a 6-0, 1-6, 7-5 win. The hard-serving Isner also had a long week, losing to Juan Martin del Potro in Sundays Citi Open final in Washington, D.C. Pospisil admitted he had mixed feelings about opening against the 6-foot-9 Isner. "Hes also confident," Pospisil said. "Either way its going to be extremely tough when you have a server like that, a dangerous player." http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Broncos-Shelby-Harris-Jersey/ . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Customized/ . Both players have lower body injuries that will keep them out of the lineup until at least January 31, which is the first game they can be activated from IR. http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Broncos-Brandon-Marshall-Jersey/ .

Andrew Wiggins made 10-of-12 from the foul line and scored 17 for Kansas (14-4, 5-0 Big 12), which capped a stretch of four straight games against ranked opponents unscathed. http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Broncos-Trevor-Siemian-Jersey/ . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. SILVERSTONE, Great Britain -- Sebastian Vettel says Ferrari is still lacking in a number of areas compared to Mercedes, including high-speed corners and its engine power boost in qualifying.Ferrari hoped to challenge for the title this season, but after nine races it has yet to win a race and Vettel is already 57 points off championship leader Nico Rosberg. Vettel says there are several areas where the SF16-H is off the pace of Mercedes W07, but went on to highlight fast corners and qualifying engine power as two key areas.I think we are not yet in a position where we rock up and we can say with confidence were going to win. So were not the favourites yet. Still a lot of work ahead. I think its equally spread, to be honest. I dont think theres one particular type of corner that doesnt suit us.Looking at the comparisons and everything we see compared to Mercedes - who are the reference - but also other cars, I dont think there is anything that stands out. I think we need a little bit more everywhere. I think slow speed corners overall are quite a strong point for us. Not all of them at every track but most of them.Then I think in medium and high speed were lacking a bit. Top speed, talking about power we know we have made massive improvements but we also know that especially in qualifying Mercedes has tthe ability to turn it up so if all of a sudden they have 25 or 30hp more its something that you see and something that you feel.ddddddddddddOf course you dont necessarily see it in the sectors because every sector has straight lines, but its something you see and something you feel. Its something were still missing. Were not yet where we want to be but were on the right track with plenty of work ahead of us.But Vettel said Ferraris progress should not be underestimated.When I arrived here was to be part of the Ferrari team that gets back to the top and nothing has changed. I think its a very ambitious target trying to do it as soon as possible but thats what were trying to do. I think the progress weve done over the last one and a half or two years, if you look at the team, has been phenomenal. As Ive said many times surely if you finish second the year before in the constructors you want to be first and challenge the first.Were not yet where we want to be, its not a secret, but Im convinced and Im confident we will get there as a team. The way things are forming at Maranello in the factory, the way things are coming together should and will make us stronger in the future.
