I guess he decided to take a break. He is scheduled to play US Open.
Good luck to Gaston in Toronto!

Re: Canadian Bacon, Moose and no hanging with the Mounties Toronto Thread
Gaston lost 6-1 6-4 to Moya.
A combo of lack of confidence and his first match on hardcourts in addition he had a ratio of 9-42 that is winners to unforced errors and that is not going to help anyone win a match. His backhand was poor today as well, sure it was windy, but it's the same for both players.

Oh no, why isn't Gaston in Cincy? I thought he liked it there cause he can play golf

Re: The No Expectations US Open Thread
This one will be a tough one for Gaston, then again Seppi hasn't been in great form either and Gaston does have a poor record in New York, so anything can happen at this event.
