Vasek Pospisil earned himself a dream match against his boyhood hero at the Rogers Cup in Montreal.

Pospisil, who's ranked 155th, faces the world's number-three player, Roger Federer. That game is scheduled for 9am our time Wednesday morning.Vasek Pospisil-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pospisil Loses to his Tennis Hero-155th vs #3 - still a dream come true
Roger Federer has defeated Vernon's Vasek Pospisil in straight sets in the men's draw of the Rogers Cup. It was a dream matchup for the 21-year-old, who has idolized the tennis great since he was a kid. But after a close first set, the 30-year-old Federer disposed of the 155th-ranked native of Vernon 7-5, 6-3. It was just the third time Federer has played a Canadian opponent in 966 career matches. The No. 3-ranked Federer won the Rogers Cup in 2004 and 2006 and was the runner-up in 2007 and 2010.
