Canada’s Milos Raonic defeated Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3, 6-4 at the Libema Open for his first ATP Tour match victory in nearly two years.
Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., needed one hour 24 minutes to complete the first-round win in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.
The 32-year-old has missed time of late due to Achilles tendon and toe injuries.
Raonic’s last tour match was a three-set loss to American Brandon Nakashima in July 2021.
Raonic rose as high as No. 3 in the world rankings in 2016.
He reached the Wimbledon final that year, becoming the first Canadian in the modern era to reach a Grand Slam men’s singles final.
