Canada's Milos Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., beat No. 4 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the semifinals of the Western & Southern Open on Friday.

Milos Raonic, of Canada, serves to Stefanos Tsitsipas, of Greece, during the semifinals at the Western & Southern Open tennis tournament Friday, Aug. 28, 2020, in New York. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., beat No. 4 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece 7-6 , 6-3 in the semifinals of the Western & Southern Open on Friday.

The Canadian's most recent final appearance was in Stuttgart, Germany in June 2018. Raonic, 29, has won eight career titles, most recently in January 2016 in Brisbane, Australia. Raonic, who has been hampered by injuries in recent years, has said the five-month break during the COVID-19 pandemic allowed him to have three six-week training blocks.Raonic saved a set point trailing 6-5 on serve in the first set before winning the tiebreak with a couple of forehand winners.Normally held in Cincinnati, the Western & Southern Open has been moved to New York this year during the pandemic. It is being held on the grounds of the U.S. Open, which starts Monday.

Osaka's tweet Wednesday night that as a Black woman she's exhausted and "sick to my stomach" over the many Black people killed by police drew quick support from other players and resulted in tennis joining other sports in calling off play temporarily. Osaka didn't practise on the off day. Osaka grabbed her left hamstring after chasing a ball during the tiebreaker, but completed the match without pause. Osaka won the 2018 U.S. Open and will be coming off a successful week -- in many ways -- heading into this one.
