Wrist injury sees top Canadian Milos Raonic lose to Mannarino at Rogers Cup
MONTREAL — It was a short, painful Rogers Cup for Milos Raonic.
The hard-serving Raonic, seeded sixth, lost 6-4, 6-4 to Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in his opening match on Wednesday night while playing through a left wrist injury that flared up this week.
“It’s quite minor in the sense of ‘can I get worse or not,’ but it wasn’t minor in the sense of quantity of pain,” said Raonic. “I’ve been on anti-inflammatories to get the swelling down, not specifically painkillers.
“More just because my wrist at this moment, from the scanning I did, has quite a bit of fluid in it.”
