‘He checked in after my match’ – Milos Raonic opens up on his conversation with John McEnroe after his second round victory in Canada Open 2023

Milos Raonic made an exceptional comeback in the ATP Tour, as he has reached the third round of the 2023 Canadian Open. In the second round of the tour, he defeated Taro Daniel 6-4, 6-3. In the first round of the tournament, he defeated ninth seed Frances Tiafoe. In the press conference, the Canadian was asked that is he still in touch with seven-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe, who coached him for a short period of time in 2016.

The tennis player opined that he spoke to McEnroe some days back and also that he called him after his victory in the second round of the Canada Open 2023. He added that he did not speak to anybody before making his comeback as he wanted to be sure himself whether he can return to the game or not.

We get along on a lot of different topics, as well: Milos Raonic

“I actually spoke to John a few weeks — well, maybe about a week ago. He kind of checked in. He checked in also after my match. I don’t really speak to anybody before I came back. There were a lot of moments when I was getting ready, and I wasn’t sure, A if I would be able to, and, B, if I kind of necessarily wanted to. So I kind of just did my own thing and tried to come back as quietly as possible. Tried to do no interviews, no nothing about it. Just kind of make my decision purely for myself,” Raonic was quoted as saying.

“And I have spoken with him since, yeah. I have a good — when we speak, we speak about a lot of things. Tennis is probably the last thing we speak about between each other. We get along on a lot of different topics, as well. And, you know, maybe just put some pressure on him that it wouldn’t be something that I would — or it would be something I would like maybe to play the Laver Cup in Vancouver. Could be a nice thing,” the Canadian added.
