Milos Raonic Injury Update (good news)
Raonic positive about return to practicing in the "very near future"
Milos has said his injury seems to be "strained ligaments" around his hip and that he is going through further testing in order to be sure there is nothing more complicated or serious that should prevent or delay his return, according to Tennis Canada news release. He is "looking forward" to the Davis Cup tie with Ecuador, set for 8-10 Jul, and sees a return to practice in the "very near future".
The Canadian Davis Cup team still has some time before they need to submit their team roster for the tie, and we will all be hoping to see Milos on the roster, perhaps even with Nestor in doubles as a preview of our new Canadian Olympic medal hopefuls. Canada's Davis Cup record with Ecuador is 1-5, we will hope to improve it...
Luckily perhaps, July is not a terrible month to miss if you have to miss one as far as the ATP tour is concered. Many of the tournaments in July are on the clay, so while it would be great practice it's not surface where we'd expect the best results, and they are all at the 250-point level except for one.
If Milos' injury is even more serious and keeps him out into August it would be very unfortunate for Canadian tennis fans who are hoping to see him in Montréal for the Masters 1000 series Rogers Cup starting on August 8th. While Milos did play in last year's Roger's Cup, there is no doubt he has earned a lot more fans in Canada since who will be paying much more attention to his fortunes there. Also in August is another Masters 1000 series tourney in Cincinnati, another part of the US Open series leading up to that Grand Slam starting at the end of the month.
Milos' Wimbledon injury
During his 2nd round match at Wimbledon on Wed, 22 Jun, Milos slipped on the grass and was not able to continue due to the pain and suspected seriousness of his injury. See video from TSN coverage here.

promising news! I saw a few tweets saying that things were looking good for a possible return before Davis Cup, so I’m glad to hear it in an “official” statement.
