Raonic pulls out of Paris Masters

Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic has withdrawn from the Paris Masters with a right elbow injury. Raonic was scheduled to face Roger Federer in a secondround match on Wednesday. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., was coming off a tough 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5) first-round win over France’s Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. This tennis season has been hard on the Canadian, who is ranked 21st in the world. He withdrew from the Monte Carlo Masters with a right knee injury in April and missed most of the clay court season. The former world No. 3 also had an injuryriddled 2017 campaign, including a seven-week absence due to wrist surgery that cost him a chance to play at that season’s U.S. Open.
