Milos Raonic Continues to Make History In Memphis
Milos Raonic Continues to Make History In Memphis
Another day and more of the same for Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) as he won his eighth consecutive match on Friday, a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory over American Mardy Fish to reach his second consecutive ATP final in Memphis. On Sunday, he will play Andy Roddick, who will be playing in his 50th career final, for the title at Regions Morgan Keegan Championships, an ATP World Tour 500 event.
“It’s coming nicely,” said Raonic after the match. “I’m acknowledging it all and taking as much as I can from it. But I’m focussing on the next day and doing what I need to do for tomorrow’s final. It’s amazing to be in two finals in a row. After you get the results, everything comes with it, like the rankings. But the thing I’m most proud of is my level.”
With his triumph over Fish, on Monday Raonic will become the highest ranked Canadian singles player in the history of the ATP at around no. 37. On Sunday, the 20-year-old will try and repeat a feat that his idol Pete Sampras accomplished in 1996 and become just the second player to win the San Jose and Memphis events back-to-back.
