Raonic moves on but Shapovalov falls to qualifier at Stuttgart Open
STUTTGART, Germany — Milos Raonic made a winning return to the court while Denis Shapovalov was upset by a qualifier Wednesday at the Stuttgart Open.
Raonic, the seventh seed from Thornhill, Ont., fired 15 aces and won 97 per cent of first service points in a 7-6 (8), 6-2 win over Mirza Basic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The hard-serving Canadian had missed the end of the clay-court season, including the French Open, with an undisclosed injury.
Raonic will face Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics in the second round of the grass-court tournament.
