The mid-season tennis break has changed some players and Milos Raonic is one of them. With a new look, the Canadian now has long hair and a voluminous figure. His performance has also taken a leap since he is now in the semifinals of the Western & Southern Open.
During the tennis break, Raonic was training with Diego Schwartzman. Diego had posted a photo with Raonic in one of their files. Seeing that Raonic had put on some weight, Fabio Fognini commented on the photo and said it looked like Raonic had eaten an elephant. Offended by the comment, Raonic’s girlfriend, Camille Ringoir, replied to Fognini and reminded him that when he confronted Raonic he took a “breadstick” and a “bagel”. This alluded to the last time Raonic faced the Italian, where Raonic beat him 6-1 (bread stick) and 6-0 (bagel).
“I didn’t care much, and she found it necessary for her to make an observation” – Milos Raonic
After his quarter-final victory at the Western & Southern Open, Raonic was questioned about the social media fight between Fognini and his girlfriend. He answered, “It was an unflattering image. We were training in the Bahamas. It was very humid. Clothes attack you. As my mother would tell me, maybe my posture isn’t as good as it should be sometimes. It was a little sloppy. Things can look a lot worse than they really are. “
Speaking of his girlfriend’s response he said, “He took it very personally. I didn’t care much and she felt it was necessary for her to make an observation. I saw it got a little more favorable wind than I thought it deserved. “

Raonic is playing very well at the moment. In his quarter-final match against Filip Krajinović, he saved a match point in the second set to make a comeback and went on to win the match. He will play Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semifinals in what promises to be an exciting match.
