TORONTO， July 27 (Xinhua) -- World No. 1 Novak Djokovic of Serbia and No. 4 seed Milos Raonic of Canada were among the notable winners in the third day of Rogers Cup Main Draw tournament at Aviva Centre in Toronto on Thursday.

The 29-year-old Djokovic defeated Gilles Muller of Luxemburg in straight sets to advanced to the third round of the tournament.

"I'm quite pleased with the way I held my serves and was focused，" said Djokovic following the match. "Overall performance was very pleasing considering it was the first hard court match for a long time."

After an early third round exit in Wimbledon earlier in the month， the Serbian is looking to regain his form in time for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and U.S. Open event in September.

With three of the top four ranked players in the world skipping Rogers Cup this season due to injury and personal reasons， Djokovic is the favorite to capture his fourth career Rogers Cup title.

Standing in Djkovic's way is Canadian Milos Raonic， World No. 7， who won his opening match in straight sets over unseeded Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei.

The other four Canadians in action during the day weren't as fortunate， as Dennis Shapovalov， Vasek Pospisil， Peter Polansky and Steven Diez were all eliminated in their second round matches.

In a the tournament that began with six Canadians in the 56-player field， Raonic is now the last Canadian standing as the tournament dwindled down to 16 players as Tuesday's evening session concluded.

Wednesday also saw seeded players Kei Nishikori (No. 3) of Japan， David Goffin (No. 7) of Belgium， Gael Monfils (No. 10) of France， Bernard Tomic (No. 12) of Australia and Jack Sock (No. 16) of USA all advance in straight sets.

Meanwhile， Wednesday also featured three upsets. No. 8 seed Marin Cilic of Croatia fell to countrymen Ivo Karlovic in straight sets. No. 9 John Isner was also bounced， losing to fellow American Ryan Harrison in three sets. The final upset of the day was No. 13 Lucas Pouille of France falling to American Rajeev Ram in straight sets.

Austrian Dominic Thiem， the No. 6 seed was forced to withdraw from the tournament while leading 4-1 in the first set against South African Kevin Anderson due to a hip injury.

Play continues Thursday for all of the remaining 16 players， who will play down to eight by the end of the day and four by the end of Friday. The winner will be crowned on Sunday and will receive the first place prize of 685，000 U.S. dollars and 1，000 ATP points.

You've no doubt heard the expression that once you've been severely tested http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/tim-mccarver/ , you'll know what stuff you're made of. In other words, when everything is going well and you've never had a formidable challenge, you won't really know how you would react http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/ken-boyer/ , would you? You might tell yourself that you know what you would do and even be convinced of a victorious outcome. However, how could you really know until you're face to face with life's challenges?

During the past week or so a succession of several minor setbacks were strewn across my path. First, my miniature poodle passed away suddenly http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/enos-slaughter/ , but peacefully due to old age. It was really a blessing, even though I still had to go through the emotions. Several days later our laundry room was inundated by a downpour from the busted water heater. It took two days to be replaced as an electrician had to first be called in. Then, this morning I did the unimaginable. I locked myself out of the house with my invalid husband in bed http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/roger-maris/ , unable to get up by himself!

None of the above mishaps were earth shattering in the grand theme of things. It's the emotions that get in the way. Your first reaction is: "What now?" and "How do I get out of this mess?" In all these instances the first thing I did was start praising the Lord and thanking Him for the solution. O.K., in all honesty it was not instantly! I know from experience and the Word that your circumstances will turn around if you:

"Sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing." (Ps. 107: 22)

With your mind focused on the Lord http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/albert-pujols/ , you will begin to feel His love and peace envelope you. You can really feel it. It's best to go for a walk or sit in a quiet place. Your body may initially feel numb and tired, and you feel like curling up into a ball and hibernating somewhere until it's over. Then, suddenly http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/red-schoendienst/ , His voice reaches through the fog of confusion in your mind:

"Look unto the rock whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence you are digged." (Isa. 51: 1)

Oh my goodness. Thanks for your revelation, Lord! I'm no longer tired http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/dexter-fowler/ , listless, down or depressed! How could I be: I am cut from the Rock, Christ Jesus! (1 Cor. 10: 4) He already took my confusion and distress on the cross. He was pierced in the side for me so that I may be a conqueror!

"We are more than conquerors through him that loved us." (Rom. 8: 37)

If He is the Rock http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/matt-carpenter/ , then you may be a tiny pebble. But be assured; you're not shifting sand that can be washed away! You are part of the Rock! He is your strength, your shield, your salvation and your peace. You can do all things through Him who strengthens you! (Phil. 4: 13)

It's also very important to remember the hole you were in before you accepted Him as your Savior. It will bring all your present problems into perspective! Whenever you consider where you may have been and the miracles He has already done in your life http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/yadier-molina/ , praise and thanksgiving will come pouring out. It won't be hard to get started!

Giving in to your negative emotions may eventually lead to depression. But, once you recognize what you're made of and, more specifically http://www.cheapmlbcardinalsshop.com/willie-mcgee/ , Whose you are, your emotional and spiritual mood will be lifted. Before long you will be able to soar over your problems.
