Tennis fans can look forward to another big comeback in the coming weeks with former Wimbledon runner-up Milos Raonic scheduled to return to the tour during the grass court season in June.
The Canadian is the second former top 5 player to return to the tour after a long absence following Japan’s Kei Nishikori, who is scheduled to return later this month by competing on the ATP Challenger Tour.
The big-serving Raonic is on the entry list for the ATP 250 event in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The Canadian will use his protected ranking of No 33 in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, which will be his first tournament since July 2021.
HIs last tournament came at Atlanta, when he was ranked 22nd in the world, and ended in a second round loss to Brandon Nakashima, capping his injury-plagued season with a 7-5 record.
The 32-year-old Raonic, who has a 372-175 win-loss record on the pro tour, has won eight ATP singles titles during his career so far and lost in the Wimbledon final in 2016 to Andy Murray.
