Milos Raonic Wins Chennai
I actually miss Milos Raonic (CAN) (#25). After having a great 2010 season, I did not encounter his name very much in the second part of 2011, and I wondered what happened to him. So it is with excitement that I read now that he won the Chennai Open, defeating newly-minted Top 10 player Janko Tipsarevic (SRB) (#9) in three breathtaking tiebreaks 67(4) 76(4) 76(4)! How's that to boost your confidence! Milos also defeated another Top 10 player in the semi's Nicolas Almagro (ESP) (#10) 64 64.
With those wins, it would be interesting to see how this young Canadian fares in Melbourne!
