About Post Author
Jesse Levine was one of the commentators for the Berrettini-Davidovich-Fokina match yesterday, & he mentioned that Milos Raonic started training a few months ago, & that he (Levine) was hoping to see him back on the tour soon. I was really surprised since there has been NO news on him for a long time. I hope Levine is right, & we see Milos back on the tour.
I’m in pretty regular touch with Raonic; spoke to him most recently a few weeks ago.
There really ISN’T any news.
It won’t be “soon”. But he’s not planning to retire. Just not ready to put a “date” on it in case he’s not ready in time.
I guess if he IS training, it is some news. Speaking about players without any news, holy smokes, I saw that Jerzy Janowicz is playing in Spain this week, & that he won today. Haven’t seen his name in years!
I’m not sure if he’s really “training”. At least not on the court in any meaningful way. If you take that literally, the way you’re taking it, you’d think he’d be somewhat closer to a return if he’d been at it for “a few months”, right?
Jesse “hoping to see him back on Tour” isn’t the same as him actually GETTING back on Tour, which definitely won’t happen this year.
I know Jesse pretty well, and he worked with Raonic for a bit, and that sounds like unspecific, wishful thinking on his part.
Raonic is proactively keeping a low profile. He’ll keep me up to date, but won’t do an interview until he has something solid to say.
As for Janowicz, he’s been in the picture for quite awhile, trying, at the lower levels. Look up his match record on the ITF site and you’ll see.
