A HEALTH UPDATE FROM MILOS RAONIC

Montreal, June 23, 2011 – The status of Milos Raonic’s (Thornhill, ON) health has been on the minds of many over the past 24 hours who have been waiting impatiently for news. It appears that while it is too early to deternine a possible return date, the first update is a positive one.

“It was an unfortunate situation in yesterday’s match, but looking forward to returning to Wimbledon in 2012,” Raonic said this morning. “I have since been working with the doctors, and I strained some ligaments around my hip and doing some more tests just as a precautionary measure. I am hopeful that I will be back practicing in the very near future and looking forward to Davis Cup”.

During his second round match yesterday at Wimbledon, Raonic slipped on the grass and took a nasty fall. He remained sitting on the court for a few minutes, grimacing in pain. He received treatment from the trainer who wrapped his right leg, but he was forced to retire from the match two games later. Raonic immediately made his way to the hospital to be examined by doctors.

Milos Raonic looks to return from strained ligament, wants to play Davis Cup

June 23, 2011

WIMBLEDON, England – Despite having to withdraw from his second-round match at Wimbledon, Canadian Milos Raonic hopes to be back in time for next month’s Davis Cup tie in Ecuador.

The 20-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., was forced to pull out in the first set Wednesday when he fell awkwardly while trying to retrieve a ball from Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller.

Raonic called it quits soon after and went for scans at a local hospital.

“I strained some ligaments around my hip and we’re doing some more tests just as a precautionary measure,” he said Thursday. “I’m hopeful that I will be back practising in the very near future and looking forward to Davis Cup.”

Canada is due to face Ecuador in a Davis Cup American Zone second-round tie July 8-10 in Guayaquil.

Raonic is also already looking forward to a return to Wimbledon.

“It was an unfortunate situation in yesterday’s match, but I’m looking forward to returning to Wimbledon in 2012,” he said.

Raonic espère se remettre à temps pour affronter l’Equateur en Coupe Davis

le 23 juin 2011

LONDRES – Même s’il s’est blessé assez gravement pour devoir déclarer forfait à l’occasion de son match de deuxième tour à Wimbledon, le Canadien Milos Raonic espère revenir au jeu à temps pour l’affrontement du mois prochain contre l’Équateur en Coupe Davis.

L’Ontarien de 20 ans a dû renoncer à jouer pendant le premier set de son duel, mercredi, après avoir chuté maladroitement en tentant d’aller rejoindre une balle frappée par le Luxembourgeois Gilles Muller.

Raonic a déclaré forfait peu de temps après et il est allé subir des examens à l’hôpital.

«Je me suis étiré des ligaments autour de la hanche et nous allons subir d’autres examens par mesure de précaution, a-t-il indiqué, jeudi. J’espère recommencer à m’entraîner dans un proche avenir et j’ai hâte à la Coupe Davis.»

Le Canada doit affronter l’Équateur lors d’un affrontement du deuxième tour de la zone américaine, du 8 au 10 juillet à Guayaquil.

Raonic a par ailleurs déjà hâte de revenir jouer à Wimbledon.

«C’est une situation malheureuse qui est survenue durant le match (de mercredi), mais j’ai hâte de revenir à Wimbledon en 2012», a-t-il affirmé.
