Milos Raonic will try to back up his upset win over Jordan Thompson Thursday against an old foe (not a reflection of their ages but more of their relatively long history together that goes back a decade.
In Raonic’s favour is the fact that he’s … 5-0 against Roberto Bautista Agut. Although all those meetings took place between 2014 and 2017.
Raonic’s countryman Denis Shapovalov takes on Matteo Berrettini in the battle of the (slightly) downtrodden in Stuttgart.
Berrettini has won that tournament, and is the tennis face of the event’s title sponsor. But Shapovalov is the one who holds the 2-0 lead in the head-to-head.
But again, ancient history, those two meetings took place in 2018 and 2019 – both on indoor hard courts.
