The grass court surface could suit Milos Raonic just fine according to fellow Canadian Daniel Nestor.
Milos Raonic, a fourth rounder at the 2011 Australian Open earlier this season, did not have the best clay court results in recent months as the Canadian struggled to post a winning record on dirt. Those efforts culiminated in a first round loss from Roland Garros where Raonic fell to Michael Berrer, a player that Canada's top prospect probably should have beaten.
Raonic, most pundits feel, is probably better suited for the grass court surface as his booming serve and desire for short points should prosper on that court.
Daniel Nestor, a player who made the fourth round of Wimbledon during his singles career, is one person who thinks Raonic might have great grass court potential.
Regarding Wimbledon 2011 and Raonic, Nestor made the following comments to the Canadian press: "He has a great chance to reach the quarters or even the semis with his style.
"He has the ability to mix in a slice serve which is a key on grass. The rallies will be shorter which is better for an aggressive guy like him who doesn't want to get into long rallies anyway. But he has to learn to be patient because he can run into opponents who are serving well and will give him no rhythm. So, he has to be prepared to play tiebreakers, which shouldn't be a problem with his record (16-7) in tiebreakers this year."
Raonic will be a seeded player at Wimbledon this upcoming tournament although he is seeded below his ranking. The Canadian will be the 31 seed in the event and should be expected to make the third round at least while further speculation on his potential has to be suspended until the draw is available.
