The 2012 singles draw has been released at the Rogers Cup and it is certainly one of the thinner fields that we have seen in terms of talent in some time. The two most noteworthy names to be missing from competition include world number one Roger Federer along with number three Rafael Nadal. With Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Juan Martin Del Potro still competing at the Olympic Games in London, there still exists a very real possibility that this draw with suffer even further losses before play begins in two days time.

The doubles draw has also weakened due to the proximity of the tournament to the olympics, with fewer top singles players using this platform as a secondary means of getting their hardcourt preparations into gear.
