Milos Raonic – Canada Fan Blog an (unofficial) blog about tennis and Canadian player Milos Raonic

A Brief History of Milos

Want to know more about Milos Raonic? Read "The Missile Finds Its Mark" over at the ATP website, written by Joel Drucker. The article recounts Milos' recent rise in the rankings, and how his development as a player and a person has contributed to his success. It also reveals how Raonic has become a student of the history of tennis, and how he tries to model his on-court temperament after his idol Pete Sampras.

Here is an excerpt from the article concerning Canada and Raonic's motivations as a player:

That Raonic comes from Canada is revealing. Though he is grateful to Canada’s tennis community and plans to do what he can to aid the game’s growth there, Raonic’s singular ascent and commitment show at one level that it’s very tricky to gauge if any kind of national system can truly yield great players. Said Raonic, “It’s great to be Canadian, but at the end of the day, it’s for myself, as an individual.”

I think that just about says it all.
