Kei Nishikori earned his first ATP Masters 1000 victory in three years, defeating Alex Michelsen in the first round of the National Bank Open. Meanwhile, Milos Raonic withdrew from the tournament due to a shoulder injury. Other notable first-round winners include Pablo Carreno Busta, Alejandro Tabilo, Karen Khachanov, and Lorenzo Sonego.
Milos Raonic set a new ATP record with 47 aces in a three-set match, overcoming two match points to defeat Cameron Norrie at the Queen’s Club Championships. Raonic’s powerful serve was too much for Norrie to handle, while other matches saw upsets and injuries, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the grass-court tournament.
