Nadal of Spain took an express route to campus, via helicopter, immediately after appearing at the CN Tower in downtown Toronto for the official draw for the ATP WORLD TOUR Masters event which takes place at the Rexall Centre, August 7 – 15.

The $3 million (US) championship event, presented by National Bank, has the tennis world buzzing about a possible showdown between Nadal and arch rival and former World No.1, Roger Federer of Switzerland.  Current ATP TOUR No.2 Novak Djokovic of Serbia is also a part of the mix along with virtually every other top-ranked player in the world.
