Milos Raonic withdraws from Madrid and Rome tournaments with knee injury Globe_Sports
. Raonic withdrew from the second Grand Slam of the season last year, as well as the Rome Masters, with a right knee ailment.It’s a blow to the hard-serving Canadian from Thornhill, Ont., who had some success at hard-court tournaments earlier this year. He reached the Indian Wells semifinals last month, losing to eventual champion Dominic Thiem.
Raonic hasn’t played since losing in the second round of the Miami Open to Britain’s Kyle Edmund on March 24. Skipping the clay season to recover is not necessarily a bad thing for Raonic. His powerful game is much better suited to grass and hard-surface courts, though he did reach the semifinals in Rome in 2014.
Raonic, who reached a career-high world ranking of No. 3 in 2016, has battled multiple injuries throughout his career, including a sore back, wrist surgery, a right elbow ailment and a pinched nerve in his right foot.
