Eugenie Bouchard Wins Junior Tournament in Roehampton
Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON), the last remaining Canadian in contention in the singles draws at Wimbledon, completed his second round match on Wednesday after it was suspended on Tuesday night because of darkness in the middle of the third set.
Raonic was facing American Sam Querrey, who knocked out Vasek Pospisil (Vancouver, BC) in the opening round. The two players were even when play started again this morning and the match remained close until the end. Raonic and Querrey each won 153 points, but it was the American who came away with a 6-7(3), 7-6(7), 7-6(8), 6-4 win.
The 21-year-old Canadian has lost in the second round at Wimbledon each of the last two years after being forced to withdraw with a hip injury in 2011. Querrey will take on Marin Cilic of Croatia in the third round.
Raonic will continue his grass court season as he is scheduled to play the ATP World Tour 250 event in Newport which begins the week of July 9. Pospisil and Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, ON) are also entered in the tournament.
