Author: Agencies

PARIS: Milos Raonic has withdrawn from next week’s French Open with a knee injury and is targeting a return during the grasscourt season, the former world number three said on Monday. The Canadian has not played since losing to Denis Shapovalov in the round of 16 at the Madrid Open earlier this month and the world number 28 has seen his young compatriot rise two spots above him in the world rankings. “It is with a heavy heart that I am withdrawing from Roland Garros. I have many great memories there,” Raonic posted on Twitter. “Thank you all for your support and see you soon on the grass,” the 27-year-old added.
