Milos Raonic set to make latest return at Davis Cup as Denis Shapovalov not recovered fully from injury for Team Canada
ATPThursday, 25 January 2024 at 03:00
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.

- Great article! I began cheering for the “real” doubles specialists at the beginning but once they all lost their respective matches I really didn’t care who actually won the whole tournament. I liked the last four teams in the semifinals and would have enjoyed seeing any of them win the trophy! Not sure it really feels like a TRUE Grand Slam win however (and I know history will say it is!). Happy for Muchova/Mensik. Karolina is now a Grand Slam winner.DaveyWavey27-08-2026

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
