"I thought it was a good time to do a test," said third seed Federer, twice the champion in Toronto. "We're taking it slow, and we'll see what happens. We don't even know yet.
"We'll see how it goes," Federer said of the prospects for a long-term arrangement with Annacone. "And we will take a decision maybe after the US Open and see what I'll do."
Argentina's Chela booked his place in the second round with a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Alejandro Falla yesterday, one of a handful of matches which got on court before weather intervened. Falla gave Federer a fright in the first round at Wimbledon before the Swiss pulled out a five-set victory over the number 64, winning 6-0 in the final set.u00a0 Federer has not met Chela since 2006, but owns a 4-0 record over the South American.
