Raonic is fairly remembered for his spectacle at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships where he had made it to the finals. Since then, he has always been a tough hurdle for his opponents to cross. But, he has also lacked the edge that makes you cross the finish line. He is currently ranked at Number 19 in the ATP rankings.
Accounting for the two missed chances – including the Vienna Open, and the amount of experience he could have grasped, the Canadian will also have to bear the chance of winning one.

After playing extensively well in the European Open, he was certainly a contender for the ATP 250 Tour in Belgium. But, all he could manage was another walkover in his account.
It seems that this unfortunate exit might also be the last appearance for the Canadian Milos Raonic in 2020. He will definitely be missed by the fans in the Vienna Open 2020 starting next week on Monday.
