Former finalist withdraws from Wimbledon


Milos Raonic has followed Rafael Nadal in withdrawing from Wimbledon and said his decision is because of a calf injury that has not fully recovered.

In a social media post on Sunday, the 30-year-old conceded that he ‘won’t be ready’ to play in Wimbledon after a minor setback, but ‘will be working to get back on court as soon as possible’

Raonic is currently 7-4 for the season and last competed at the end of March in Miami.

“It has been a long time since I have shared an update here. I wanted to share that I am incredibly sad and hurt that I won’t be ready to compete at Wimbledon this year,” Raonic wrote on Instagram.

“It is a pinnacle in my schedule each and every year. I was working hard preparing for many tournaments,

On the second to last day I hurt my calf. I have been working hard to heal it but had a minor set back.”

“Therefore I won’t be ready for Wimbledon. I will be working hard to get back as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and support. Milos.”
