Milos Raonic set a new all-time aces record in his win over
Cam Norrie at the Queen's Club Championship. The former world No. 3 showed he
is still going strong on grass, setting an incredible record for aces in a
three-set match.
Despite barely playing in recent years, the 33-year-old
Raonic continues to put in strong performances on Tour. The Canadian is only
playing his fourth tournament of the year and is ranked world No. 186, yet he
still managed to put in a historic performance against the home side Norrie.
Raonic sets new record in winning return to Queen’s Club
Raonic's serve is recognised as his main weapon and
grass-swing is always an ideal stage for him to be at his best. The Canadian
achieved an unexpected record in his debut in Queens with a total of 47 aces in
the match, an all-time record in best-of-three-set matches on any surface. The
previous record was held by Croatia's Ivo Karlovic, who scored 45 aces at Halle
2015.
The 33-year-old scored with 13 aces in the first set, 16 in
the second and 18 in the third to take a thrilling match 6-7 (6), 6-3, 7-6 (9)
after two hours and 15 minutes. 47 of
the 110 points he scored throughout the match were aces, meaning that 42.5% of
his points were aces.

Raonic returns to the second round at Queen's after five
years since his last appearance at the tournament. His best result was
runner-up in 2016, when he lost to Andy Murray, a final that was repeated a few
weeks later at Wimbledon, where the Briton again took the title.
Raonic's next challenge will be in the last 16 against the
winner of the match between qualifier Tatro Daniel and 4th seed Taylor Fritz.

- Tennis "fans" have short memories. This is exactly who Saba always was... granted she found a 'new' persona when she began winning matches and tourneys. Off-court she's always been a racist potty-mouth. Her meanness also shines through when she thinks no one else is around. In short, the "person" you've witnessed in post-match on-court interviews is NOT who she is. As for her familiar "apologies, she can stick that routine in her racquet bags because I never believed her words nor phony "respect" for her opponents -- and I ain't buying that now.
mandoist15-11-2026 - Was Saba not paying attention to those who sought an inordinate amount of attention outside of their sport (occupation)... and to the point they lost their focus and eventually their place in tennis? For example: Giorgi, Bouchard, Raducanu, etc. They became infatuated with endless Selfies, videos, podcasts, TV commercials, magazine shoots, and so on. Thus their tennis suffered. Priorities are important.mandoist14-11-2026
