It is always difficult for a tennis player to maintain consistency on tour after making a comeback from an injury. Looks like Milos Raonic is in a similar circumstance at the moment as the Canadian decided to pull out the tennis summer in the land Down Under that includes the Australian Open.

Raonic played only five events during this year’s ATP season and managed to reach the fourth round at the ‘happy slam’ earlier this year. The Canadian was defeated by eventual champion, Novak Djokovic.

Milos Raonic will drop out of top-100 in men’s singles rankings

As a result of his withdrawal from the 2022 Australian Open, Raonic will face a dip in his singles ranking. The Canadian player will fall out of top 100 for the first time since 2011. Raonic always had troubles with his body, but he sparked whenever he was fit and could play freely.

Raonic’s absence adds to the growing list of players who are pulling out of the event. While top stars such as Roger Federer and Serena Williams couldn’t play due to injury concerns, others such as Rafael Nadal and Andrey Rublev tested positive for COVID-19 and casted serious doubts over their participation.

Raonic managed to defeat Federer and Nadal but couldn’t have an impact on Novak Djokovic

With a sharp serve and a destroying forehand up his sleeve, Raonic was able to reach as high as no.3 in the ATP rankings. He scored victories against Federer, Nadal, and Murray but failed to dominate Novak Djokovic in their eleven appearances.

Before their pre-quarters clash at this year’s Australian Open, both Djokovic and Raonic faced each other in the semi-finals at the 2020 Cincinnati Masters. The Canadian destroyed Novak in the first set and looked unstoppable.

But, Djokovic waited for the right moment where Raonic would witness a drop in his level and then launched an all-out attack against the Canadian to win the next two sets.

With uncertainty looming over Raonic’s future on the ATP tour, fans await some sort of good news from the Canadian’s team concerning the details over his comeback next year.
