The round of 16 match of Canadian Open 2023 between Mackenzie McDonald and Milos Raonic will take place on August 10.
In the ongoing year, Mackenzie McDonald continues to display his exceptional prowess on hard courts, further enhancing his reputation with an impressive straight-set triumph over the 7th-ranked Andrey Rublev during the second round of the Toronto Masters. His 2023 record of 15 wins and 8 losses on hard surfaces underscores his competence. These noteworthy achievements in hardcourt competitions have propelled him toward reclaiming a spot in the top 50 rankings. This marks a significant career milestone for the American, representing his finest performance in Masters tournaments to date. Looking ahead, he aims to secure his most significant quarterfinal placement. However, his past performance reveals a 0-2 track record in the round of 16 in tournaments exceeding ATP 500 level, both instances transpiring in Grand Slam events.
Milos Raonic’s victory over Frances Tiafoe, ranked 10th, has revitalized his career in front of Toronto’s home crowd. This win sets the stage for Raonic to reach the semifinals without facing another top-20 contender. He’s set to compete against Mackenzie McDonald, ranked 59th, in the round of 16 after defeating Taro Daniel (ranked 115th) in the second round. Potential quarterfinal opposition includes Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ranked 37th). Raonic’s impressive performance in six matches since returning from a prolonged injury hiatus this year is notable. He had to curtail his 2021 season after 12 matches due to injury, followed by a complete absence in 2022 and over five months in 2023. Seeking his first main tour quarterfinal since the 2020 Paris Masters, Raonic eyes a comeback.
