Pospisil will face world No. 42 Fernando Verdasco of Spain when he plays in his second straight Grand Slam main draw. Pospisil, who is ranked No. 78, reached a career-high ranking of No. 25 in 2014. Pospisil is in the same quarter of the draw as Roger Federer, Dominic Thiem and Juan Martin del Potro.

World No. 11 Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., was forced to withdraw from the final Grand Slam event of the year after undergoing surgery on his wrist, an injury that kept him out of the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati earlier this month.

No other Canadians qualified for the main draw. Francoise Abanda of Montreal lost to Slovakia’s Viktoria Kuzmova, 6-3, 6-4 on Friday, while Peter Polansky of Thornhill, Ont., dropped a 6-3, 6-4 decision to American Tim Smyczek, and Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., lost 6-2, 6-4 to Radu Albot of Moldova.
