Milos Raonic and Eugenie Bouchard are still alive in singles as the rest of the Canadian contingent at the US Open gets going

NEW YORK – The first few days were all about the singles. But now, the rest of the Canadian players begin their US Opens in men's and women's doubles, and mixed.

Here they are, along with their opponents, and when they are scheduled to play.

Daniel Nestor

A few days before his 43rd birthday, Nestor and new partner Édouard Roger-Vasselin begin their men's doubles campaign as the in-form team this summer.

The two reached the final in Montreal at the Rogers Cup and won the Cincinnati Masters 1000 tournament in their first two outings together, and those results helped them to get a higher seed at the Open, at No. 9.

Their first opponents are a pair of tall, big servers in Chris Guccione of Australia and Andre Sa of Brazil. The men's doubles draw is fairly balanced, with a lot of solid teams in the mix; Nestor and Roger-Vasselin are in the opposite half from the No. 1 seed Bryan brothers. Nestor is not playing mixed doubles.

Vasek Pospisil

Out of the singles after a tough night on Monday, Pospisil and American partner Jack Sock, seeded No. 11, play the pickup team of Leonardo Mayer of Argentina and Joao Sousa of Portugal in the first round. They are in the same section of the draw as the reigning Australian Open champions and No. 5 seeds, Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli (whom they defeated at both Indian Wells and Miami).

They are in the same quarter of the draw as the No. 1 Bryans.

Adil Shamasdin

The Pickering, Ont. native is teaming up with the very tall Philipp Oswald of Austria for this one. They drew No. 10 seeds Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares in the first round, but won't play until Thursday. Peya and Soares were ranked as high as No. 3 in the world in doubles for much of last summer but has dropped down to No. 20, hence the lower seed.

Gabriela Dabrowski

The Gloucester, Ont. native got into the singles qualifying at the very last minute last week but lost 6-4, 6-2 to Anna Tatishvili in the first round (Tatishvili ended up winning three matches to reach the main draw).

With regular doubles partner Alicja Rosolska of Poland, Dabrowski will meet Ukraine's Kichenok sisters, Lyudmyla and Nadiia, not known for all that much other than big serving.

The Kichenoks were at the $25,000 tournament in Winnipeg, Manitoba last week, playing singles and seeded No. 2 and No. 4. Nadiia lost to Canadian Sharon Fichman in the second round.

Erin Routliffe

The most unlikely member of the Canadian contingent only found out on Saturday that she would be at Flushing Meadows this year, as she and University of Alabama doubles partner Maya Jansen won the US Open National Wild Card Playoff event, which had a regional component earlier in the summer, followed by a 16-team showdown during the women's New Haven event last week.

Routliffe and Jansen, who are the two-time NCAA doubles champions (the singles champions get wild cards into the main draw of the singles here, but the same isn't true for the doubles), could be the happiest people here.

Routliffe, 20, was part of the national program in Montreal for several years and as such travelled to a lot of junior tournaments, including the junior Grand Slams. Her peak junior ranking was No. 17 back in 2013; her last appearance in New York was at the 2012 junior US Open. In it, she lost to two-years-younger Belinda Bencic 6-1, 6-0 in the first round; she and fellow Canadian Carol Zhao also lost to Bencic in the quarter-finals of the doubles.

Routliffe probably never imagined she'd be back just three years later, especially as she went the college route. But here she is; she and Jansen drew No. 6 seeds Raquel Kops-Jones (a US college player herself) and Abigail Spears.

Meanwhile, Genie Bouchard wisely decided to enter all of the available events at this year's US Open, to at least ensure she would get some matches here if the singles didn't work out as she hoped.

She is playing doubles with Elena Vesnina of Russia (who is the No. 3-ranked team in the world with countrywoman Ekaterina Makarova, who is not playing doubles here).

They will face American Madison Brengle and German Tatjana Maria in the first round of doubles. Bouchard also is playing mixed doubles with the controversial Nick Kyrgios.
