Milos Raonic made a great breakthrough at the Australian Open, and looks set for an exciting careerMilos Raonic made a huge impact in this year’s Australian Open, and appears to have a great career ahead of him. Whilst few people outside of the tour knew about Raonic a week or so ago, it seems like a number of players have been aware of his ability for some time.
Raonic trained for six weeks in Barcelona, mixing with the likes of David Ferrer, who eliminated him in Melbourne. “It was just a matter of time, you could see. Everyone in the locker room, we all knew he was going to explode at some point”, remarked Ferrer.
Looking to the future, Raonic said, “I’m going to have to play a few weeks now consecutively”. "I'm going to try to maintain this level. These next upcoming tournaments, I feel like I can go in and do a lot of damage and keep improving my ranking a lot. I feel like I have to bulk up a bit and get more lean in the upper body. The next [tournament on the] schedule is going to be Johannesburg. I'm going to fly out over the next few days. I got quallies there."
If Raonic can recreate his Melbourne form there’s no doubt that he’ll quickly climb the rankings. There’s an outside chance that he can crack the top fifty by the end of the season, and we may even see him compete for some tour titles this year.
