TORONTO – Milos Raonic is out at the Rogers Cup men’s tournament after losing to American John Isner, 7-6 (9), 6-4 in the quarter-finals on Friday.
Raonic, from nearby Thornhill, Ont., was the last Canadian in the singles draw and hadn’t played since Tuesday’s second-round win over Viktor Troicki. He earned a walkover win to the quarter-finals when Andy Murray pulled out with a injury.
Isner was playing in his second match of the day after advancing earlier in the evening with a 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4 victory over German Phillipp Kohlschreiber in a match that took just under two hours.
Serbia’s Janko Tipsarevic and Richard Gasquet of France are also through to the semifinals.
Tipsarevic advanced with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Spain’s Marcel Granollers, while Gasquet ousted American Mardy Fish 5-7, 6-1, 6-2.
It was the first meeting between the two players who are both known for an intimidating serve.
