Milos Raonic will try to improve upon his career-best 2016 without the guidance of coach Carlos Moya. The Canadian announced on Wednesday that the two will no longer be working together. Raonic first partnered with the former World No. 1 in January, and he went on to experience his best season on the ATP World Tour. The 25 year old kicked off the year by winning his eighth ATP World Tour title in Brisbane (d. Federer). Raonic proceeded to reach the Australian Open semi-finals, the BNP Paribas Open final, The Queen's Club final and his first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon (l. to Murray).

With both competitors turning in career years, it’s no surprise that they faced...
Milos Raonic was one point from snatching a slice of history at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals on Saturday. The Canadian sat on the cusp of claiming his biggest victory over World No. 1 Andy Murray, and after three and a half hours he could taste the finish line. But the longest match on the ATP World Tour this year, and longest three-set affair in the history of the season finale (since records were first kept in 1991), would fall just out of reach. Andy Murray moved one step closer to clinching year-end No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings with a pulsating 5-7, 7-6(5), 7-6(9) victory. It was a mesmerising thriller at The O2, arguably one of the...
Andy Murray and Milos Raonic - who met in the final at The Queen's Club and Wimbledon this year - will resume their London rivalry today when they play in the semi-finals of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. In New York City in the 1980s - a time and a place captured by the fictional Gordon Gekko's declaration that "greed is good" - no one lived a life of excess quite like Ivan Lendl did. Nine years in succession, Lendl reached the final of this tournament, during an age when it was played in the city's Madison Square Garden. From those appearances, Lendl took five titles.
