INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – There is only one Canadian in all of the singles qualifying at Indian Wells this year.

And that’s Vasek Pospisil, who doesn’t have an easy way with Egor Gerasimov in the first round, and Thanasi Kokkinakis in the second and final round.

He managed to get through Gerosimov Tuesday, but he was battling a few things on the physical front.
