Canadian Raonic says ‘time has come’ to retire from tennis
Milos Raonic retires after 18 years with eight ATP titles and over $20 million in earnings, citing injuries and readiness to move on from tennis.
- On Sunday, Milos Raonic announced on Instagram, `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,` The Canadian Press reported Jan. 11, 2026.
- Hampered by injuries, Raonic had not competed since mid-2024 and last played at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where Dominik Koepfer eliminated him in the first round.
- The Canadian icon finished with 383 singles victories and eight ATP Tour titles, reached at least 10 Grand Slam quarterfinals, and advanced to the Wimbledon final against Andy Murray.
- Raonic's retirement removes one of Canadian tennis's ambassadors and one of the Open Era servers from competition, and he teased he will likely remain in the public eye soon.
- Looking ahead, he thanked fans and his family who came over more than 30 years ago, saying he remains motivated and hungry to put the same effort into future projects.
