…but Milos won’t be heading to Ecuador

Despite being nominated to the team, Milos Raonic will not travel to Ecuador to compete for Canada in the Davis Cup Group I tie.

The announcement was made by Tennis Canada today, and it looks like Peter Polansky will be taking Milos' spot on the team. We were hopeful that Raonic would be well enough to play for Canada next week, but he is still undergoing examinations for the hip injury sustained during his second round match at Wimbledon.

It goes without saying that this is a bummer, but we will still be following the Canadian Davis Cup team as they take on Ecuador for a chance to make the World Group. Ecuador leads 5-1 head-to-head, although we have a good chance of improving that record in July.

It is unclear when we will see Raonic in action again, but hopefully he will be fit for the Rogers Cup in Montreal this August. There will be a lot of eager Canadian tennis fans looking to catch a glimpse of Milos bombing serves on a hard court this summer.
