Raonic Clinical In Shanghai Debut

Milos Raonic moved to within a match of his best showing at the Shanghai Rolex Masters on Wednesday. The fifth seed dominated his second-round contest against Italian Paolo Lorenzi, advancing 6-2, 6-4 in 65 minutes. The Canadian won 84 per cent of his service points (36/43), converted all three break points and never faced one on his serve. He also earned the customary “free points”, nailing 14 aces. "I have to be happy with the way I played. It was very important for me to be efficient out on court today," he said. Raonic, who withdrew from his Beijing semi-final match last week because of a right-ankle injury, said he's still feeling some pain but has learned to play with...

That’s the only way I can give myself the chance to win big...

Wawrinka's One Wish For 2017

By every measure, Stan Wawrinka has enjoyed one of his best seasons. He's won four tour-level titles, tying his career-best mark. He also captured his third Grand Slam tournament title when he beat Novak Djokovic during the US Open final last month. So what, if anything, could Wawrinka possibly wish for in the year ahead? The return of the one thing – or person, rather – who's been missing during the second half of the season: Wawrinka's countryman, Roger Federer. When asked what his two wishes for 2017 would be, Wawrinka said, “For tennis in general, that Roger will be back at the top with no injury. I think it's always good for everybody when he's playing. And for myself,...
