Milos Raonic’s NB match used
shoes. This special made to measure shoes were
worn during Wimbledon 2013. He lost in the second round to Igor Sijsling.
Both
shoes are signed. Born in Titograd, SFR Yugoslavia (now Podgorica,
Montenegro),
Raonic moved to Canada with his family at the age of three, learning
the game
at the Bramalea Tennis Club in Brampton. He is Canada's highest ATP
ranked
male singles player since computer rankings began in 1973, with a
current career-high ranking of World No. 10. He qualified for his first
Grand Slam event at the
2010 U.S. Open. In 2011 he rose from World No. 102 to No. 37 in a month,
after
he reached the fourth round of the Australian Open and won his first ATP
title at
the 2011 SAP Open. Raonic, who prefers to play on hard courts, plays an
all-court
game. Statistically, his serve is one of the strongest on the tour. In
2012, he
served more aces per match and won a higher percentage of service games
than
any other player.
