After nearly two years away with injuries, Milos Raonic is scheduled to make his return Monday in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, on grass.
He has a protected ranking of No. 33. And he’ll face No. 5 seed Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia.
The grass season officially begins today, with tournaments in the Netherlands and in Stuttgart, Germany, where you’ll find Denis Shapovalov. But first, you’ll find the return of Matteo Berrettini.
Félix Auger-Aliassime was scheduled to play in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. But he withdrew.
(‘s-Hertogenbosch and Stuttgart are six hours ahead of EDT).
