TORONTO -- Milos Raonic could face two other Canadians on his way to the semifinals of the Rogers Cup.
Raonic, of Thornhill, Ont., is seeded fourth at the men's tournament, which begins Monday at Toronto's Aviva Centre. The top eight seeds get a bye into the second round.
The draw for the Masters 1,000 tournament was revealed Friday at Rogers Centre.
Frank Dancevic, of Niagara Falls, Ont., and Vancouver's Vasek Pospisil are also in Raonic's quarter of the draw.
Dancevic is slated to play American Sam Querrey in the first round while Pospisil will face Jeremy Chardy of France. Querrey made headlines earlier this month at Wimbledon when he upset World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the third round.
On the other side of the bracket, Steven Diez of Toronto will play Kyle Edmund of Britain and 17-year-old Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., plays Australian Nick Kyrgios.
Shapovalov is making his Rogers Cup debut after winning the Wimbledon boys' title.
Raonic, who's coming off a loss to Andy Murray at the Wimbledon final, could face Djokovic in the semifinals. Djokovic is the only seed higher than Raonic in their half of the draw.
Second-seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland and third-seed Kei Nishikori of Japan are both in the other half.
The last Canadian man to win the singles event at home was Robert Bedard in 1958. He also won the singles title in 1955 and 1957.
Since then, Raonic has come the closest, losing to Rafael Nadal in the 2013 final in Montreal.
Three of the top-five ranked men's players -- Nadal, Murray, and Roger Federer -- announced their withdrawal from this year's Rogers Cup in the past week.
