Will Raonic Challenge For No. 1 in 2017?

Milos Raonic has arrived at the Brisbane International presented by Suncorp and is ready to make a statement in his first tournament of 2017. But before he takes the court for his first match of the season, the top seed and defending champion made time to take in the sights of this world-class city. Raonic boarded a CityCat cruise around the Brisbane River on Tuesday and met Adrian Schrinner, the city’s Deputy Mayor. “It's great to be back here. This is the most ideal way for us, as tennis players, to start off an Australian summer,” said Raonic. “Having five of the Top 10 players here is of great significance. It’s obviously a great show not only of the kind...

Raonic, Nadal Could Meet In Brisbane QFs

The 2017 ATP World Tour season should start much like the 2016 season finished – with blockbuster match-ups. At the Brisbane International presented by Suncorp, the first tournament of 2017, top seed Milos Raonic will try to repeat as champion Down Under. The right-hander won his lone title of 2016 in Brisbane. But the World No. 3 could face a fellow Top 10 player before he even makes the semi-finals. Rafael Nadal, No. 9 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, will await Raonic if the two progress to the quarter-finals. Raonic has a first-round bye and a potential second-round match-up with Argentine Diego Schwartzman or American Sam Querrey. The Canadian will be making his debut with new coach Richard Krajicek. The...

Raonic Joins Forces With Krajicek

Milos Raonic is kicking off the new year with a new coach. The Canadian has brought on former World No. 4 and 1996 Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek to work alongside him in 2017. “Today was my first practice with Richard Krajicek. It’s great to have Richard, alongside my team, for the upcoming season in my attempt to reach new and higher goals for 2017,” said Raonic in a post on his Instagram account. “I worked with Richard for a few days last year before the Australian Open and I’m sure with his experience and being a Wimbledon champion, [he] can help me reach my goals. I look forward to doing great things.” Raonic worked with former World No. 1 and...

Raonic Reaps Rewards On Return

In 2015, Milos Raonic lost serve only 39 times in 49 matches. Not enough. In 2016, the 6’5” Canadian was broken 86 times in 69 matches. Now we are talking. Raonic ended 2015 ranked 14 in the world in the Emirates ATP Rankings, and just completed the 2016 season with his career best ranking of No. 3. On the surface, getting broken more than twice as much in 2016 than 2015 seems counter-intuitive to such dramatic improvement. It’s not. In fact, basically everything from a serving standpoint slightly declined in 2016 compared to 2015 for Raonic, but to focus only on his service games would be the same as not being able to see the forest for the trees. What’s...
