Raonic withdraws from Montreal
Milos Raonic withdrew from the Omnium Banque National présenté par Rogers on Tuesday evening due to a shoulder injury.
“I tried to warm up for my match today. The thing that was the most difficult was to serve,” Raonic said. “I don't think I would have been able to be competitive by any means. I can manage a lot of things, but without serving, that would be a tough day for me.”

The former No. 3 player in the PIF ATP Rankings was preparing to play in Montreal for the first time since 2019. He most recently competed in the Paris Olympics, where he lost his opening singles match in a final-set tie-break to Dominik Koepfer.
“It came up initially right when I came here on hard courts after the clay,” Raonic said. “I was playing points the other days, and I was kind of having a similar feeling. Took some days off trying to feel better about it. It just wasn't anywhere close to where I need it to be.”
