Mylos Raonic made a historic breakthrough at the tournament in London, setting a new ATP tour record for the number of aces in a three-set match. In the match against the British Cameron Norrie, the Canadian tennis player served 47 aces, surpassing the previous achievement of the Croatian Ivo Karlovic.
Raonic's historic victory
Raonic, a 33-year-old native of Podgorica, Montenegro, showed incredible power and accuracy with his serve. The match ended with the score 6:7 (6:8), 6:3, 7:6 (11:9) in favor of the Canadian. This victory was an important milestone in his career, especially considering that he occupies only the 186th position in the ATP ranking.
"I've always believed in my serve, but today's match exceeded all my expectations. It's an incredible feeling to set a record at this level," Raonic said after the match.
Karlovych's previous record
The previous record was held by Croatia's Ivo Karlovic, who served 45 aces in the quarterfinals of the grass court tournament in Halle in 2015. Raonic was able to surpass this achievement, showing a real master class in serving.
Analysis of the key moments of the match
Raonic started the match confidently, but the first set ended in Norrie's favor with a score of 6:7 (6:8). Despite this, the Canadian did not give up and continued to fight. He was able to find his game in the second set, winning it 6:3. The third set was a real battle of nerves, where Raonic once again showed his strength, winning the tiebreak 11:9.
Meaning of victory for Raonic
This victory is important not only because of setting a record, but also because it could be a new start for Raonic's career. After a series of injuries and setbacks, this triumph could give him new momentum to return to the top 100 of the world rankings.
"This victory means a lot to me. I went through a lot of difficulties, but I never lost faith in my abilities. I hope this is just the beginning of my new era in tennis," added Raonic.
Forecasts for the future
The next tournaments will show if Raonic can maintain this high level of play. If he continues in the same spirit, we can expect many more brilliant victories from this talented tennis player. Raonic's fans are looking forward to his next matches, because this record was only the first step on the way to new achievements.
