Milos Raonic’s next opponent enjoys practice session with Sidney Crosby
LONDON — While most Canadians figure to be rooting for Milos Raonic in his Wimbledon quarterfinal, one notable Canuck could be supporting his opponent.
Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby hit the court for a practice session with American John Isner — Raonic’s next foe on Wednesday — at the All England Club before Wimbledon.
“Actually got him out on the court for 15-20 minutes, got to meet him, talk to him and to see what he does to stay in shape,” the six-foot-10 Isner told reporters. “That dude works his tail off. That’s why he’s the best hockey player in the world.”
Isner was impressed with Crosby’s tennis game.
