Raonic spoke after and said it is the result of lots of hard work and that he is at a stage he has never been in his career in terms of his game and health. As a result, he hopes to keep it up.

"It would be incredible [to win an ATP Masters 1000 title]. Just generally as part of my career, it's not just the past six months coming back [and] playing. Just with everything else, I want to go to heights I haven't achieved yet and this is a part of it," said Raonic.

"This is what I've worked hard for with very clear, specific goals and I hope that I can get that step closer and maybe make a difference tomorrow."

"I'm feeling good about my tennis," added Raonic. "I took the time to train, to try to do things right, to get myself to a stage I haven't been before with my tennis, with my health. I hope it can keep paying off for me because I've put in the work and let's see what the future holds."
