@SportsHorn Well played!

[Milos Raonic @milosraonic]

It started out with a great speech at the University of Texas, which inspired me in many ways and lead me to the wonderful story of Danny Meyer, a dear friend. Now it’s a phenomenal book of doing something you love. @bgurley

The time has come, I am retiring from tennis. This is a moment you know will come one day, but somehow you never feel ready for it. This is as ready as I will ever be. Tennis has been my love and obsession for most of my life.

I have been the luckiest person to get to live out and fulfill my dreams. I got to show up every day and focus on just getting better, seeing where that will take me, and playing a game I was introduced to at 8 years old by complete luck. Somehow, this became my entire obsession and childhood, and then became my profession and life.

I am thankful for the incredible fans I got to compete and practice in front of all over the world. They got to see me shining at my brightest and managing the hardest of moments on the court. They got to see me grow up. Thank you to each and every one who stopped, even for a moment, to watch and support me.

Thank you to my coaches and team, who took time away from their families and homes to be on the road with me as I pursue my dream and goals. I am grateful for your guidance and teachings.

Thank you to the ATP tour, the ITF, and all the Grand Slams. I dreamt of playing at your great tournaments, and I got to have those amazing experiences surrounded by great people, trying their best for the beautiful game of tennis.

Thank you to all my colleagues and opponents. I looked up to you growing up, I looked up to you throughout my career, and I will continue to look up to you as a fan. I became the best player I could be, I am a better person, and I learned a lot of life’s most important lessons thanks to the challenges of competing with you all week in and week out for more than 2 decades.

Thank you to Canada. My family and I came over more than 30 years ago. Thanks to you, I pursued tennis, thanks to you, it changed my family's life, and I enjoyed every moment of the opportunity to represent you all around the world.

Mom, Dad, Jelena, and Momir, I am so incredibly thankful that you all put aside your lives at many moments for me to have a chance to chase a dream. It was only possible of becoming a reality thanks to you. None of this is possible without the consistent effort and emotional support you put into my dreams. As lucky as I am to have found tennis, it pales in comparison to how lucky I am to have you as my parents, sister, and brother.
I hope to make my wife and son proud every day and I hope I can be the kind of family for them as mine was for me.

A big part of my tennis journey has been the incredible people I have been fortunate to meet all over the world. On many occasions, they have been wonderful mentors who have given me the time and guidance to figure out the rest of my life. I am thankful to them for making the burden of many of my life’s most important questions a little easier. Their care and time have made this process much clearer and inspiring.

What’s next? I won’t be slowing down. There is so much more life to live, and I am as motivated and hungry as I was in 2011, when I broke through on tour. I will put the same effort and intensity into the next thing. If I can pursue the same excellence as I did with my tennis, just trying to be better every day, and let’s see where it takes me.

Very excited to share my year end interview with @milosraonic for @MatchPointCAN

We discuss his long awaited return to competition, how special it was to play in front of his parents in Toronto & what it meant to be part of the 🇨🇦 Davis Cup squad again!

Charlie Munger just died at 99 😔

[Milos Raonic @milosraonic]

Canada is world champs in both men’s and women’s tennis at the same time. Who would have thought it 13 years ago!!!
Congrats on winning the Billie Jean King cup!! Beyond proud!!!

IMO, it’s not to prevent Saudi investment it is to have a more cohesive product to sell to PIF.
ATP and WTA are more more intertwined at Grand Slams so therefore you cannot go in separately like with PGA.
PIF wants equity, not only events like Next Gen and potential WTA finals

[Relevant Tennis @RelevantTennis]

BREAKING 🚨

As per The Telegraph, ATP & WTA will convene in London later this month to discuss merger.

One of the reasons could be to prevent a Saudi takeover of the sport, as well as to strengthen the tennis brand overall.

This is a topic that had already begun to be discussed post-pandemic, particularly at the beginning of the year with the launch of the United Cup.

It's intriguing how Briggs mentions in the article the possibility that another concern is the challenge posed by the rival player union founded by Novak Djokovic, the PTPA, 'which has been gradually expanding its influence since its establishment four years ago'.

Undoubtedly, there would be several advantages, especially for the WTA Tour. It could potentially eliminate the gender pay gap with the ATP and also boost its popularity. Additionally, it would be advantageous for the fans, as they could enjoy a single platform similar to Tennis TV where they can watch matches and content from both tours.

At the moment, however, there is nothing concrete.

[Tennis TV @TennisTV]

COMEBACK COMPLETE 🤩

@milosraonic defeats Kecmanovic 6-3 6-4 to win his first ATP match in TWO years 👏

Re: adderall in tennis, one ATP player told me today he estimates “half of top 100 is on it…maybe more.” And not because they have trouble focusing while doing their homework.

Lots of cynicism about the TUE system within the locker room.

[Milos Raonic @milosraonic]

This is the greatest moment in Canadian tennis and I hope we get to see it happen many more times!

[Milos Raonic @milosraonic]

Congratulation to Team Canada. Congrats to Felix, Denis, Vasek, Alexis and Gabriel on winning the Davis Cup.
Many Canadians have achieved a lot in tennis. This shows the strength of Canadian tennis at at an international team stage, winning the highest achievement.

Canadian Pension funds in Ontario and Quebec, had exposure to Voyager, BlockFi, Celsius and FTX's latest venture round.

But the government won't let them directly invest in tokens onchain because its "too high risk" - so they picked "safe" institutional rounds...

[Chris Black @DownToBlack]

Really excited to work on @BJKCup 🎾coverage in 🇨🇦 this week & from listening to the @TennisCanada team, they're pretty excited too!

Here's a thread on the tournament, starting with @Bandreescu_ on (likely) playing her first Billie Jean King Cup matches since February 2019:

[Milos Raonic @milosraonic]
