Canadian tennis star Milos Raonic has pulled out of an ATP 500 tournament in Acapulco, Mexico with a right shoulder injury, according to a Twitter update from Tennis Canada.
The 20-year-old from Thornhill, Ont. will miss play this week after visiting doctors in Acapulco about the shoulder. He is coming off a 7-6, 6-7, 7-5 loss in the final of an ATP 500 tournament in Memphis to American Andy Roddick in dramatic fashion.
Raonic’s place in the Acapulco draw was taken by Daniel Muñoz de la Nava.
The hard-serving Canadian had won the previous weekend in San Jose, Calif., and his record stands at 12-3 on tour this season. He has jumped 22 places to reach No. 37 in the ATP rankings after finishing 2010 ranked as No. 156. He becomes the highest ranked Canadian singles player in the history of the ATP.
Raonic is next scheduled to play Davis Cup for Canada in Mexico City.
