Raonic says he injured leg in Wimbledon quarterfinal loss to Isner
LONDON — Battling both his opponent’s powerful serve and his own injury-prone body, Canadian Milos Raonic made a quarterfinal exit at Wimbledon for the second year in a row.
Raonic, the No. 13 seed at the All England Club, lost 6-7 (5), 7-6 (7), 6-4, 6-3 against No. 9 seed John Isner of the U.S., on Wednesday in a battle between two of the most powerful servers in tennis.
After the match, Raonic said he felt like he tore a muscle in his right leg in the first set. He called for a trainer to tape it up while up 6-5 in the first.
“I don’t know to what extent,” Raonic said. “That’s sort of the sensation I had.”
