Raonic is 2nd seed in Memphis, edged out by Marin Cilic for that top starting spot.  Even though he's 2nd seed, the conditions (indoor hard court) probably make him the favourite to win this thing.  Raonic lost to Andy Roddick and JoJo Melzer in the finals of Memphis 2011 and 2012 respectively.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nMilos will play his first match, versus 20-year-old Jack Sock, late on Wednesday, Feb 20th. He is up following the Bryan Bros in the 7pm session.

His Semi-final opponent would likely be John Isner (can't wait for that, rematch of that Toronto match last year), and in the finals he would likely face Cilic, Nishikori, Querrey, or maybe Dolgopolov.<\/p>\n<p>I'm hoping we get to see Dolgo and Isner matches, also, I can imagine Tommy Haas would like another crack at him, so all 3 of these would surely be great matches to watch!<br \/>\n--wacb<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-sig\">Posted by wacb from WordPress for BlackBerry.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milos has left the building&#8230; Losing to 20 year old Jack Sock, ranked outside the top 150 and a huge underdog, Raonic has made a 1st rnd exit from the Memphis ATP 500 Indoor Hard-Court tourney.
