World Νο 7 Stefanos Tsitsipas will be up against the 339th-ranked wildcard entrant Milos Raonic in the opening round of the 2023 US Open on Monday.

Τhe big-serving Canadian, who is making a comeback after an extended absence due to injury, had previously overcome the Greek champion at the 2020 Australian Open and once again at the Cincinnati Open within the same year.

It took Serbian player almost three hours of play to reach his eighth semifinal in Melbourne.
An old acquaintance and a big rival Roger Federer, who eliminated Tennys Sandgren in quite a dramatic match, awaits him in the semi-final blockbuster.
Interestingly, whenever he reached semi-finals of the tournament in Melbourne, Djokovic would win it.

Sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas has advanced to the third round of the Australian Open after his German opponent Philipp Kohlschreiber withdrew due to injury, organizers said on Wednesday.
ATP Finals champion Tsitsipas, 21, will meet either Canadian 32nd seed Milos Raonic or Cristian Garin of Chile in the third round, having never faced either opponent before.

Dominic Thiem withstood 30 aces from big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic to win 7-6 (5), 5-7, 6-4 on Wednesday and reach the third round of the Paris Masters.

The two-time French Open runner-up also saved nine break points out of 10, and then broke Raonic for the first time in the ninth game of the deciding set before serving out the match.

Bulgarian tennis star Grigor Dimitrov has withdrawn from the FAST4 Showdown, reported tennisworldusa.org.

The 27-year-old debuted at the FAST4 event last year. Back then, the Bulgarian beat Australian tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt in a singles match before he and German Alexander Zverev were beaten in a doubles clash by Hewitt and Australian Nick Kyrgios.

Grigor Dimitrov began with a victory at the Masters Series in Toronto (Cannes, $ 5.32 million). In the II round, the Bulgarian, who rightly rest on the start of the main circuit, made a 4:6, 6:2, 7:6(5) turn against Fernando Verdasco (ESP). On the stands at the Rogers Center was also his coach Daniel Valverdu, which finally ended the speculation of parting with the Venezuelan specialist.

Grigor Dimitrov lost his first match at the Madrid Masters Series in Madrid (€ 6.2m). Bulgaria's best tennis player started from the second round against Milos Raonic (Canada) and lost with 5:7, 6:3, 3:6 after almost two hours of play at the Aranci Sanchez court.

This was the second defeat of a 5 games against the Yugoslav-born Canadian.

The Canadian achieved a victory in the match with the Argentinean Nicolas Kicker yesterday.

Milos Raonic will compete with Grigor Dimitrov in the second round of the Masters Series in Madrid with a prize fund of 6.2 million euros.

He beat Nicholas Kicker (Argentina) with 6: 3, 6: 2 in 1:16 hours.
