Raonic ousted in Moscow upset
Print Edition
TOP seed Milos Raonic suffered a setback in his hopes of qualifying for the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals after he was beaten 3-6, 6-4, 3-6 by 116th-ranked journeyman Ricardas Berankis in the second round of the Kremlin Cup in Moscow yesterday.
Berankis watched 15 aces from Raonic whistle past him but the Lithuanian qualifier broke the Canadian’s powerful serve four times to seal his first ever victory over a top-10 player. His reward is a quarterfinal against Spain’s Roberto Bautista Agut, seeded fifth.
Raonic, who had a bye into the second round, currently stands eighth in the “Race to London” for the end-of-season ATP World Tour Finals which will feature the top eight players.
Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Australian Open winner Stanislas Wawrinka have already qualified for the London finale.
