Milos took 42% of receiving points, 88% of his first serves, 62% of second serves, with 71% of first serves in, 19 aces; only 18 unforced errors vs 54 (!) winners. Berlocq managed only one break point in the match, late in the third set, while Milos was a threat in almost every one of Berlocq's service games. Milos' backhand, though used sparingly, was effective; many\u00a0good cross-court then down-the-line or inside-out combinations, and nice touch at the net. Great to see Milos' shot selection filling out.<\/p>\n<p>Milos joins fellow Canadians Genie Bouchard, Vasek Pospisil and Jesse Levine in the second round, the first time in twenty-five years **[comments, please!]\u00a0four Canadians have made it to the second round of a slam together. Next up for Milos will be Igor Sijsling (ATP#59); if he can get past Sijsling he'll meet either Denis Kudla (#112) or Ivan Dodig (#54) who upset Kohlschreiber (retired fifth set) today.<\/p>\n<p>CBC: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/sports\/tennis\/story\/2013\/06\/25\/sp-tennis-canadians-wimbledon-raonic-levine.html\">http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/sports\/tennis\/story\/2013\/06\/25\/sp-tennis-canadians-wimbledon-raonic-levine.html<\/a>\u00a0 &lt;&lt;<\/p>\n<p>June 24: Milos is scheduled to play third on Court 12, Tuesday, June 25;\u00a0after Harrison v Chardy, so maybe 2pm to 3pm local time, approx. 9-10 ET, 6-7 PT.<\/p>\n<p>CBC:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/sports\/tennis\/story\/2013\/06\/23\/sp-atp-wimbledon-milos-raonic.html\">http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/sports\/tennis\/story\/2013\/06\/23\/sp-atp-wimbledon-milos-raonic.html<\/a>\u00a0 &lt;&lt;<\/p>\n<p>June 23: Looks like Milos will play Tuesday, as he is not on Order of Play for Monday -- contrary to what we've seen on some betting sites. However, Canadians can cheer for Eugenie Bouchard, first-up on Court 8, followed by Vasek Pospisil, also on Court 8.<\/p>\n<p>June 21: The Wimbledon draw is out, and Milos could have done worse, given that he is seeded outside of the top 16. Milos, in the second (Ferrer) quarter,\u00a0will face Carlos Berlocq (ATP#72) in round one. If he wins that match he will meet either Alex Kuznetsov (#173) or Igor Sijsling (#59).\u00a0The likely third-round (R32) opponent would be 16th seed Philipp Kohlschreiber (#18).<\/p>\n<p>Live Draw: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wimbledon.com\/en_GB\/scores\/draws\/ms\/r2s1.html\">http:\/\/www.wimbledon.com\/en_GB\/scores\/draws\/ms\/r2s1.html<\/a>\u00a0&lt;&lt;\u00a0\u00a0 Updates daily.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 27: Sijsling defeats Milos 7-5 6-4 7-6(4).
