Raonic relishing another crack at Swiss legend Federer in Wimbledon semifinals
WIMBLEDON, United Kingdom — Milos Raonic says he’s looking forward to getting another crack at Roger Federer, the Swiss tennis legend who sent him packing with a straight-sets win in the 2014 Wimbledon semifinals.
Raonic believes he has grown as a player since his first Grand Slam semifinal, improving his all-round game and learning how to make adjustments when things aren’t going his way.
How much the Canadian has improved will be made clear Friday, when Raonic takes on Federer, the seemingly ageless seven-time champion, in the Wimbledon semifinals for the second time in three years.
“I look forward to it a lot,” Raonic said. “Two years have passed since I played him here in the semifinals so I’m happy that I have another shot at him.
