Raonic ousted from U.S. Open after second-round loss to Harrison
NEW YORK — Milos Raonic didn’t have his main weapon ready to bail him out at Flushing Meadows.
The fifth-seeded Raonic crashed out of the U.S. Open in the second round Wednesday, losing 6-7 (4), 7-5, 7-5, 6-1 to unseeded Ryan Harrison, a qualifier ranked 120th.
Raonic had problems holding serve, usually a strength for the six-foot-five Canadian, and double faulted 15 times. Raonic looked defeated after Harrison broke for the fifth time to win the third set.
“I didn’t serve well to start this tournament and that’s normally my go-to that can keep me out of situations,” said Raonic.
