(January 11, 2026) Canadian Milos Raonic , former World No. 3, announced on social media that he is retiring from tennis:
From Tennis Canada:
Raonic began his career in 2008 and won his first professional title in 2011 (San Jose) at the age of 20. He went on to win eight ATP titles, equal with Félix Auger-Aliassime for the most singles titles won by a Canadian. In 2013, Raonic reached the final of the ATP 1000 National Bank Open presented by Rogers
(NBO), his home tournament in Montreal. It was one of four runner-up trophies he earned at an ATP 1000-level tournament. He also enjoyed tremendous success in Grand Slam events, reaching the quarter-finals or better on 10 occasions, with his career highlight coming in 2016 when he defeated Roger Federer in a five-set semi-final to reach the Wimbledon championship match. Later in 2016, he reached
the final four of the ATP Finals, becoming the first Canadian to achieve this feat in singles, before finishing his landmark season as world No. 3.
Raonic is the only Canadian man to reach a Grand Slam singles final and still holds the country’s record for the highest singles ranking.
“Milos [Raonic] is quite simply one of the greatest athletes this country has ever seen,” said Gavin Ziv, Chief Executive Officer, Tennis Canada. “What he has accomplished in our sport and his resilience throughout his career have redefined expectations for Canadians. I remember his run at Wimbledon in 2016 as if it were yesterday – the excitement across the country was undeniable and it changed the way people viewed our sport in Canada. Suddenly, people believed that they too could be among the very best in the world and compete in the biggest matches on the biggest of stages. His legacy goes beyond his titles and rankings, as he changed the landscape of tennis in Canada, and his influence on Canadian
players and programs will be felt for many years to come.
