CANADA’S Milos Raonic is the fourth player to qualify for the ATP World Tour Finals in London following his run to the semifinals in Beijing last week.
Wimbledon runner-up Raonic will be making his second appearance at the year-ender having qualified two years ago.
He joins Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Stanislas Wawrinka, winners of this year’s Grand Slam titles.
“I have had my best ever season so far this year and it is a great reward to be one of the first few players to qualify for London,” said the 25-year-old, who withdrew from his China Open semifinal because of an ankle injury.
Four places are still up for grabs with Kei Nishikori, Gael Monfils, Dominic Thiem and Rafael Nadal currently inside the cut with two Masters events left.
Raonic is still planning to play the Shanghai Masters.
The Canadian described the injury as a partial tear in his ligaments, adding that even if he plays, he will still not have fully recovered by then.
