Milos Raonic set to make latest return at Davis Cup as Denis Shapovalov not recovered fully from injury for Team Canada

Veteran tennis star Milos Raonic is set to make a return to the Davis Cup as he will be representing Team Canada in the tie against South Korea.

The tie is set to take place in February and as per the latest report, the 33-year-old will be replacing Denis Shapovalov who recently announced that he will not be available for the competition.

“Representing Canada has and always will be a priority of mine, and I have so many great Davis Cup memories in my career already,” said Shapovalov in a release recently. “However, having missed a substantial amount of time last season with an injury, I am now at the beginning of my comeback.

“I need to focus on finding my rhythm again and making sure that I can get back to my best level as fast as possible. Best of luck to the team. I know the guys have what it takes to get us through to the group stage.”

It will be interesting to see how Raonic will perform in the competition as he will be joining Team Canada after having a rather below-par outing in the ongoing Australian Open where he was knocked out of the competition after having to retire in the first-round tie against Australia’s Alex de Minaur.
