Whether watching his play or his uncharacteristic reaction to a set-deciding call that did not go his way, there was only one conclusion to draw: Raonic is in Toronto to fight. (Dixononsports)
TORONTO — Given all he’s been through, one would understand if Milos Raonic arrived at the National Bank Open with a just-happy-to-be-here mentality.
A wild-card entry at the NBO, Raonic shook off a heartbreaking first-set tiebreaker loss to beat world No. 10-ranked Frances Tiafoe 6-7, 7-6, 6-3. “You know, Eastern European parents, not always the best at expressing emotions,” Raonic said with a little grin. “So I’m sure there will be one moment when we talk about it. Today wasn’t that day.”
